Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a hybrid between a life-sim and an adventure game rich with quests, exploration, and engaging activities featuring Disney and Pixar friends, both old and new.
During my time as a Gaming and Interactive Intern at Disney/Pixar Games, I coordinated the asset review process for Disney Dreamlight Valley. This role required me to manage task boards on Airtable and Jira, as well as shepherd communications between Gameloft’s development teams and Disney’s internal departments and studios. This project was my first exposure to licensed game content, and I learned much from working with some of the industry’s top talent to make sure live-service content was developed and delivered on time.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborated with external production, design, art, and narrative teams to scope, develop, and ship high-impact updates including recurring seasonal content (Star Paths, Limited‑Time Events), new Realm levels (Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland), and Part 2 to The Storybook Vale expansion.
- Utilized Airtable and Jira dashboards and brand ticket trackers to monitor asset deliveries, unblock production bottlenecks, and communicate milestone status to internal stakeholders.
- Coordinated narrative scripting and art development for updates including the Alice in Wonderland Realm, Mysteries of Skull Rock, and The Storybook Vale: The Unwritten Realms—aligning development contributions with Disney IP guidelines.
- Edited copy for player-driven UI/UX improvements for Animal Companions and Photo Mode, supporting accessibility, quality-of-life improvements, and community-aligned feature design.
- Supported live operations through asset reviews, seasonal roadmap alignment, and marketing quality checks related to upcoming content beats.
- Participated in cross-functional script reviews with developers and Disney studio representatives, ensuring timely delivery, internal approval, and consistency across narrative and quest design.
