Jesse Aldredge
Game Design Portfolio
My name is Jesse Aldredge, and I am a passionate game designer specializing in crafting immersive gameplay experiences and innovative systems. With a background in level design, systems design, and QA testing, I bring a detail-oriented and player-focused approach to every project. As a graduate of Full Sail University, I’ve developed expertise in Unreal Engine and collaborative game development, combining creativity and technical precision to deliver engaging, high-quality designs.

Featured Projects
cyber.EXEcution
cyber.EXEcution is a fast-paced first-person shooter set in a fragmented digital realm, blending fluid movement, intense combat, and a glitchy cyberpunk aesthetic. Developed over four months with Team Scarlet Retina, the project showcases innovative gameplay design, cohesive art direction, and seamless collaboration.
Dreamscape Hotel
In this project, I take an idea/concept through the development cycle and into a fully-functional prototype in only 3 weeks.
Island Adventure Project
A large-scale team project involving development of an adventure game from pre-alpha to gold.
Tile-Based Game (Tournamental)
Designing fun puzzles using custom mechanics and levels in a tile-based game!
Software Skills
Perforce
Perforce enables me to collaborate with team members by managing game assets and code in a structured and secure environment. Its version control system ensures I can track changes, resolve conflicts quickly, and maintain project integrity, which is essential for delivering polished and cohesive games.
Jira
Jira helps me stay organized and manage development tasks effectively, from tracking progress to prioritizing features. I use it to break down complex goals into manageable tasks, ensuring deadlines are met and keeping the team on track in high-pressure production environments.
Confluence
I use Confluence to create and maintain detailed Game Design Documents (including the 71-page handcrafted GDD below), ensuring my ideas are well-organized and clearly communicated to team members. It allows me to structure my design thoughts and collaborate efficiently, which is critical for aligning everyone during development and adapting designs as projects evolve.
