Party's Over

Party's Over is a 2D puzzle-platformer game in which the goal is to progress to the next level after having turned off all the lights. However, the lights can be controlled by multiple different switches that can themselves control several devices within the level, making the player's progress harder. The game's difficulty is mostly focused on solving puzzles, and in part on platforming.

What I did in this project:

• Designed the game concept and all puzzle mechanics.

• Designed 40 puzzle levels.

• Designed the narrative context of the game and included environmental storytelling elements.

• Programmed the game.

• Recorded, processed and integrated sounds in the game.

What I did in this project:

• Designed the game's systems, mechanics and gameplay loop.

• Worked in collaboration with programmers and artists to provide better feedback and improve the user experience.

Milestone 6: Tomariage

This Frenglish turn-based RPG was developed as a surprise prologue to my friend Tom's bachelor party. Featuring a complex Final Fantasy-like combat system, it is full of inside jokes and memories, with a gameplay that doubles as a drinking game, and a comedic and "meta" story that shatters the fourth wall and tramples it.

What I did in this project:

• Designed a turn-based combat system with different possibilities of actions (attack/buff, use item, block when attacked, flee), elements, status, and unique character/enemy attacks.

• Designed a small world with interconnected maps and a narrative to drive the player progression in this short experience.

• Wrote most of the game's dialogue.

• Programmed the game architecture, progression system, cutscene system and transition system.

Old Thiess: The Werewolf's Trial

For our final project for NAD's Narrative Game Design D.E.S.S., we designed a game inspired by the transcription of a werewolf's trial from 17th century Livonia. A 2D platformer focused on combat and exploration with an emphasis on the narrative, Old Thiess explores the roots of the myth of the werewolf, and the relationship with one's inner beast.

What I did in this project:

• Designed a combat system and a crafting system.

• Designed a vast level with interconnected maps containing enemies, resources, NPCs and a boss.

• Collaborated to craft the game's lore, characters and story, and wrote the dialogue for the 4 possible endings.

• Programmed the game architecture, the movement and combat systems, the enemies and NPCs, and the level transitions.
