Prototyping

Gamejam scope:

Being one of the designers who helped create these 3 small-scope projects in only 8 weeks time, there's one major thing I continuously worked on and improved my skill in: prototyping.

Whether I was doing audio, systems design, level design or play testing, the focus was always on fast iterations and quickly finding the fun in small core concepts.

Tasks included:

God Complex
- Designed and balanced the scoring system for a game session
- Did all the Sound design
Human Complex
- Did all the Sound design
Tower Complex
- Came up with the entire game concept
- Designed and implemented most of the systems and mechanics
- 3C and gameplay balancing
- Did level design and implementation for several levels in the game
Hosted play tests and iterated based on feedback (all games)
