Bio
Manny Diaz
Dan was responsible for delivering level art in one of the most complicated and crucial spaces in our game. Throughout development, Dan was extremely receptive to direction and feedback. I was always pleased to see the way he was able to build on ideas that extended beyond design, level art, and gameplay. His receptiveness and skill meant he was capable of weaving high concept ideas and subtext into his environments. Dan worked closely with our level design team to balance real-world expectation with the gameplay requirements of the space. Throughout each milestone, he continued to bring a quality attitude and a proactive work ethic. I always felt confident in trusting Dan with his crucial mandate, and I look forward to seeing the way he will continue to elevate the art quality of the teams he works with.
