Nonlinear Level Design

360° Combat Encounters

3rd Person Exploration​

Banger Playlists

I'm an Intermediate Level Designer with nearly 4 years of experience in the field, both in indie development and working with world-known IPs. 

 

I'm looking for opportunities to work with experienced designers on ambitious games, to push my skills and deepen my understanding of Level Design.

​

I'm an adaptable and creative designer that make the most out of a player's toolset to create memorable exploration and combat experiences. I take every opportunity I can to learn something new and I thrive in teams that are collaborative and feedback-driven. The best LD is done when all the team's strengths are leveraged, so I always make sure everybody's voice is heard and their work is showcased.

level design

- LEGO Star Wars: Castaways -

Castaways is a social action-adventure game with a focus on customization and replayability. Both the On foot and Vehicle levels have built-in randomization that creates a different experience every time the level is loaded, and the combat encounters are designed so they can be approached from every angle. The player can also enter the level with a myriad of different loadouts (a combination of a main weapon and a secondary skill) that open up different paths and allow for new surprises every time. All the levels are 100% made of LEGO bricks, with a combination of modules-driven architecture and organic terrain generated using our award-winning technology, the Legolizer.

- tasks -

  • Create On Foot Levels:

    • Different objectives for each playthrough;

    • Up to 4-players coop;

    • Open-ended puzzles that can be solved in multiple ways depending on the player's secondary skill;

    • 360° combat encounters that play out differently depending on the loadout.

​

  • Create Vehicle Levels:

    • Single-player, on-rail shooter levels where the player boards their favorite ship from the Star Wars universe, each with different skills and specs.​

    • Each level contains 15 - 20 splines that snake around the level and connect to each other, each with three difficulty levels.

    • At start, the level generates a 5-spline path that increases in difficulty for a different experience each time.

​

  • Create Trial Levels:

    • Single-player, timed challenges focused around a single gameplay: Combat, Puzzles or Survival;​

    • Locked loadout for a more controlled experience,

    • Create opportunities to optimize run and promote speedrunning. 

​

-  approach -

​

  • Research on the maps' environment to respect the Star Wars IP and make the most of its rich universe and lore;

  • Sandbox-type design centered around the players different skills to provide a different experience for each loadout;

  • Collaborative Level Design to make the most out of every designer's strengths;

  • Regular iteration following feedback from all stakeholders (Apple, LEGO, Lucasfilm).

by Paper Cult

Bloodroots is a top-down, over-the-top action brawler with a sharp focus on experimentation, improvisation and die-and-retry mechanics. In Bloodroots, almost any object in the environment can become a makeshift weapon, and its levels were built to maximize opportunities for rhythmic, flow-y play, clutch escapes and sweet, sweet combos. 

- tasks - 

​

  • Create varied levels under specific constraints:

    • Linear, instructive and cinematic;

    • Open-ended combat encounters promoting improvisation;

    • Platforming challenges.

  • Give access to a wide array of weapons with gameplay-changing characteristics 

  • Fine-tune the feeling of flow; 

  • Create opportunities to optimize run and promote speedrunning;

  • Monitor the difficulty curve and iterate accordingly. â€‹

​

-  approach - 

​

  • Forward-design research in the Editor;

  • Create a bank of Level Design Patterns; 

  • Constant communication with the other Level Designers on the project;
