WOLF IN OHIO (September 13-November 1 2022)
Wolf in Ohio is a class project that lasted 6 weeks.
Our group was made of 4 individuals, including myself. My role in the project was being a Game Designer/Programmer. I mostly focused my energy on the design aspects of the project and a small amount of programming.
For example, I would often playtest levels that our group has made and find any bugs or suggest improvements on how to make the game more fun and playable. Based on the feedback given towards the project from playtesting, I collaborated with other team members to decide on how to best design the levels. At times, I was asked to design parts of the different levels we've had to help increase production efficiency.
Whenever there's no big task for me to do, I assisted in creating the simple elements of the game such as UI menus. I aimed to have the UI look simple first before having other members polishing it with art and code to make it visually appealing and functional.
Helping out in this project until the last milestone has given me exposure to everything a project offers and it has helped better prepared me for the next one I'll do with different team members.

KNIGHT BY NIGHT
Knight by Night was the first project of Spartasoft Studio that had 30 students involved in it, including myself.
It is a 2D Visual Novel/Adventure game that the studio had been developing for 18 weeks. (January 2022-May 2022)
During the design process of Knight by Night, my role was creating levels. When making the rough sketches, I thought it'd be interesting to make the level about defending the cupcake that's in the middle of the room while fending off enemies. Having the path layout from one room to another be different than a straight path seemed exciting to make the player feel prepared for the next challenge.
Besides level designing, I reported bugs on the game during the final stages of development
Being a part of Spartasoft Studio gave me great insight on how the game development environment is to succeed in it.
