About Michael Smith

Hi! I'm Michael Smith, a level designer at Gunfire Games working on Darksiders 4. I previously contributed to Remnant 2, designing dungeons and point-of-interest encounters across three biomes.

My work spans concept development, documentation, blockouts, puzzles and gameplay scripting. I collaborate with artists and other disciplines to develop playable spaces, then refine them through reviews and playtesting.

I earned a B.S. in Visual and Game Programming at the Art Institute of California, Orange County, and completed CG Master Academy's Level Design for Games certification. My background in programming and game QA informs how I build, test and iterate on levels.
