Summary

I was a game designer on a 7 people team for this student project that we worked on for 3 months along with our courses.
During the project, I was responsible for:

  • Designing core mechanics and systems
  • Designing and tweaking 3Cs.
  • Level design blockouts and iteration for level 2 and 3 in Unity.
  • Balancing items, levels and enemies using regular playtests
  • Designing and implementing tutorial levels

Post-mortem

We wanted to transform a simple concept with a strong appeal: "clumsy animal firefighters put down flames in chaotic multiplayer", into a well-made product showing our skills, and I think we succeeded!
We won several awards with this game: Best Student game at BostonFIG, Student Game Finalist at BIG Festival, Finalist at The Rookies and Best Concept at a local fest.

This project taught me how to iterate quickly, how to consolidate and follow through a creative vision and how to create polished experiences.
