MY CONTRIBUTION
From movement to progression
I built the skating controller, trick chaining, score multipliers and progression in Unreal Engine. I handled the systems design and implementation, as well as the levels used to test them.

Turn momentum into expression.

A playground for iteration.
The test park gives me a simple place to work on the controller. With a few obstacles and clear trick feedback, it’s easier to see how movement and timing affect each attempt.

A connected skateboarding system
Concrete Grind is a skating prototype built around momentum and linked tricks. The controller, scoring and progression systems work together inside original test levels.
SYSTEMS DESIGN RATIONALE
Reward the line, not just the trick
The multiplier rewards keeping a line going. That makes the transitions between tricks just as important as the tricks themselves, and gives the movement system a clear job: help players carry their momentum into the next action.
DESIGN BREAKDOWN
Three connected layers
I use the test park to look at three things together: how the character moves, how tricks connect and how the score responds. Seeing those systems in the same small space makes their interactions easier to assess.
