Game Design

Co-Writing Game Design Document from the beginning.
Writing an asset list with priorities for artists working in the project.
Maintaining Github for the project and solving merging issues.
Testing the game with technology onsite.

Working with a big touch wall meant taking into account players height and reach space. Illustrating it using rule of thirds gave a better understanding of collectable placements in game.

Level Design

Asset management in Unity.
Co-creating level layouts based on delivered concept art.
Grayboxing and adding final assets delivered by artists.
Developing lighting for scene in Unity URP.

Different layout options of rooms.

A graybox of a level room. The aim for the room was to be an easy room with small to medium reward.

Final scene in Unity.

A visualization of how game game screens collectables should be taken into account. Overall the center area is the best place as the input of the technology has difficulties taking input from higher than head.
