Ian Rooke is a Vancouver-based game designer, formerly of Next Level Games. He worked there from September 2014 to May 2015 on Metroid Prime: Blast Ball and Metroid Prime: Federation Force. He designed three of the game's missions; M17: Infestation, M19: Incursion and M22: Convergence. Rooke scripted these missions with a text-based scripting language[1] and designed these levels, all themed around infiltration, "with a mix of stealth, heavy combat, exploration, puzzles, and boss fights". His portfolio website features YouTube playthroughs of his missions.[2]
