Hi, I’m Ronen Elishaev, a game designer, level designer, and game developer based in Tel Aviv. I combine film & television studies with hands-on engine work to craft narrative-driven experiences. I’ve led cross-disciplinary teams on MFA capstones and commercial projects, from concept to playable demos, and I enjoy shaping game systems, level design, and player UX. Currently I’m producing Sleazemonger and contributing to Neural Noir, a narrative horror title, while continuing to bridge storytelling, gameplay, and production. I’m passionate about using tools like Unreal Engine, Unity, and AI-assisted workflows to ship polished, engaging experiences.
