This is a playable graybox exercising rational level design, namely the progression of challenge throughout the level supporting flow.

​

What I achieved in this piece includes:

​​

• Creating gameplay areas that accommodate existing gameplay metrics, control scheme and camera.

• Introducing and interleaving 8 gameplay mechanics throughout the level's progression. (Teach, Test, Challenge)

• ​Conceptualizing purposeful level design geometry that supports and contextualizes the game's mechanics.

• Designing a well-defined path that guides the player in the right direction throughout the level.

• Including a variety of pathing options, including main, alternative, failure and bonus paths.

• Balancing risk and reward and offering progression signifiers with strategic collectable placement.

• Ensuring complete and functional level enclosure.

• Preparing questions and engaging in play test and focus test sessions, processing feedback.
