Claudiu Nichifor Portfolio: KCD2-Mod

Jousting League - KCD2 Mod

For this project, I am developing a mod for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — a fully playable jousting tournament where the player engages in jousting duels against NPC opponents. The goal of this mod is to expand the game's medieval experience by introducing a dynamic tournament system, providing players with a new gameplay loop focused on skill and timing.
This is a custom level that uses the existing in-game assets to ensure the mod visually integrates seamlessly with the world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I am utilizing the official CryEngine toolset provided by Warhorse Studios, including Skald and SMID, to build the environment, develop quests, and integrate gameplay systems.
My skills here span across multiple disciplines: level design to craft an immersive and authentic tournament ground; gameplay design to establish rules, mechanics, and progression for the jousting matches; and scripting work, which involves modifying XML files and using flowgraphs to create the quest structure that drives the tournament's functionality.
Through this project, I am demonstrating my ability to work within an existing framework and toolset to deliver meaningful new content, showcasing skills in technical design, systems implementation, and creative problem-solving while working with a limited documentation or support.
