DESIGN PROCESS
Prototyping the game's level design on paper and on white boards. The final level is only built in Unity 3D after multiple iterations.
CHALLENGES
As the level designer, some of the challenges that I encountered while designing the levels included:
-
Ensuring that the player feels engaged despite not being able to jump.
-
Working around a different way of platforming due to the underwater setting.
-
Making sure that all levels are capped so that the player cannot swim out of it.
-
Exploring verticality to expand levels and to make the level more engaging.
-
Making sure that the width and height of each enclosed area is not too .claustrophobic - has enough breathing space for the player.
-
Making sure that interactables and enemies stand out from the environment
-
Making the environment feel alive.
-
Pacing the levels in terms of location and amount of obstacles and enemies the player encounters.
