Description:
This is the biggest project i worked on for the Italian Videogame Academy as a Lead Game Designer and Lead Art Director. It's a single player 3D Top-Down Bullet Hell in which your only weapon is a bouncing sphere.
You can charge and throw it against your enemies to defeat them in order to advance through the rooms.
I have taken care of:
-
Enemy combat and behaviour design
Working process:
-
Started brainstorming type of enemies that could be closely related to the core mechanics of the bounce
-
Delivered one document for the simpler enemies and one sheets for the more complex enemies needing more detail
-
Defined enemies by weapon, type of attack, health, movement, speed, dmg, possible stun and development complexity
-
Worked side by side with the animator to decide each frame and movement of the animations in as much detail as possible following the frame golden rules
Document:
-
Boss combat and beahviour design Lvl 1 - 2 - 3
Working process:
-
Decided what the boss-phases were based on (time, attack, health)
-
Defined tools and boss attack, movement and stun
-
Worked side by side with the animator to decide each frame and movement of the animations in as much detail as possible
Document:
-
Power up design
Working process:
-
Developed common,rare and epic power up to balance the game
-
Tested and tuned every single power up variable
-
Implemented power up particles system, niagara and 3D model
Document:
-
Score system and currencies
Working process:
-
Decided what type of currencies the game needed based on the currencies hierarchy
-
Defined the pervasivity level of each currency
-
Linked the score system to the juiciness of the gameplay
