TRAILER

GAME OVERVIEW
FROM GENERALIST TO LEVEL DESIGNER
Creating a full game entirely on my own had always been a dream of mine, which is why I decided to develop this project during my early years in game development.
Working on every part of the game gave me a much clearer understanding of the development process as a whole. I had to make decisions across multiple disciplines, solve problems as they appeared, and constantly iterate to make everything work together as a complete experience. It was both challenging and rewarding, and it taught me a great deal about how games are built in practice.
During this process I realized that level design was the area I enjoyed the most. Shaping spaces, guiding player movement, and thinking about how a level feels from moment to moment stood out to me more than anything else.
This project became a turning point for me. It marks the moment I went from exploring different areas of game development as a generalist to focusing specifically on level design.
