Duration: 10 Weeks

During my time at CG Spectrum's Gamechanger Academy's scholarship course 'good to great', I worked on-site full-time with the help of a mentor to create the game Code_Break. This was a solo project, with a focus on developing my level design expertise, and industry readiness.I started by creating a pitch deck, collecting assets, and iterating on 2D level layouts until they felt polished and properly paced. I then blocked out the core levels in Unreal, shaping the visual information and player flow, also using blueprint scripting to implement gameplay mechanics. As a solo project, I also handled project management and UI work, bringing all elements together into a cohesive experience.

Level Structure

PRELIMINARY PROCESS

Making a Start

To start the project, I began by creating a pitch deck of the game's concept. The theme decided on was a prison break out of a sci-fi prison!To make it feel like an adventure, I decided to have three level locations: inside the prison, the prison's island (caves and cliffs) and a village survival finale. However due to time, only the first level (The Prison) was made.

Collecting Assets

2D Designs Pre-Blockout

Greyboxing Start

Iteration From Playtesting

• 

Before

Players often missed the assault rifle, becoming distracted by upcoming enemies, which left them underpowered for the fight.
ㅤ
ㅤ

ㅤ
ㅤ

• 

After

I extended the wall behind the body to block the view of upcoming enemies, ensuring the gun on the ground was the main point of interest. I also moved the gun next to the medkit, in case players picked up one but missed the other.

• 

Before

This area starts with a single enemy, followed by two more rushing down the stairs once the player enters. The main issues were that players would eliminate the first enemy and then ignore cover, and that the explosive barrel was too well hidden to be useful.
ㅤ
ㅤ

ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ

• 

After

I added a neutral, unarmed NPC that the initial enemy shoots at, and placed a post that blocks the player’s view of that enemy on entry, forcing them to move toward cover. To address the barrel issue, I removed the cover in front of it so that when the second enemy runs down from above, they stop next to the now-exposed barrel instead of safely behind cover.

• 

Before

This area originally featured a spinning sentry that required the player to hide behind cover to avoid getting shot. It ended up being too difficult, since the player was never encouraged to use cover and movement together.
ㅤ

ㅤ

• 

After

This area was fully reworked into a simpler turret that scans left to right. The player uses cover and waits for the turret to look away before opening the laser gate. This version better introduces movement skills alongside cover and timing.

Here's a showreel showing the whole process, and the before and after changes:

production

Key Takeaways

July - August 2025

Platform: PC
Engine: Unity
Team Size: 5
Duration: 2 months

Palingenesis: The Gallery is a first-person horror puzzle experience, where players can swap between layers of a painting to alter their surroundings. This game demo was developed by a team of five people, made in just under two months for the showcase night 'GamesPond'.

1. context

As a group of recently-graduated uni friends consisting of two artists, two designers and one programmer, we decided on making a horror experience set in a strange and creepy setting. We also vowed to not have jump-scares, focusing on psychological horror instead.Additionally, we submitted a simple demo to GamesPond... and were accepted! This meant we had to start accelerating the project's production to make a showcase-ready build in 4 weeks.

2. My work

My task during pre-production was on game design. I helped design the system of swapping between layers of a painting, and deciding the mechanics each one would bring, and also creating the master Game Design Document.

Then during production, I got enthralled designing the 2D overview of the map using Adobe Illustrator and Miro.We wanted the players to feel enclosed in the gallery, but also wanted art pieces on display. I made sure to have rooms that were not too large for displaying art as the players explored, paired with tight corridors after each segment to add some tension.

Mapping out the main points of the experience first also helped define it. We wanted a closing wall puzzle, elevator puzzle, and arrow puzzle for example, and then I designed around that list.The rooms utilised blood handprints and footprints to help guide the players, and show some environmental storytelling of past visitors barely making it through.I then began blocking-out the map on Unity using these designs as a stencil. I worked closely with our 3D modeller to make sure that this would fit into the scope.

After finishing this, we were coming up on our GamesPond showcase. I helped our 3D modeller place in her assets, with lighting, and anywhere else I could. We also playtested, of course, finding lots of tweaks to improve for the day (mainly conveying tutorials better).

3. Conclusion

Palingenesis: The Gallery is an incredible project for me. I learned a lot of things, alongside an amazing team who are all super friendly and talented. My favourite constraint on this project was working with the horror setting. I discovered that I loved designing puzzles that had tension, my favourite being the closing walls with the keypad code.After GamesPond ended, we decided that we would continue to work on the game in our free time. This project is still running, and we hope to make it bigger than what it originally was!

(With a Playable Demo Link Below!)

What's this game about?
Playing as a little slime named Goob, who's made out of paper, you must jump, fight and slingshot your way through the luscious and beautiful world of the slimes.However, enemies from the second dimension are invading, and seem to be slowly corrupting the world...

Multiple dimensions?!
That's right, in this game, you must master not only the 3D world but also the 2D paper world. These dimensional rifts can be found on walls, ceilings and floors throughout environments.

What's been made so far?
So far, we've made a short teaser demo that was shown at PAX 2024. In the future, we would like to implement a stronger narrative, interesting slime elemental powers, full-game level pacing, and smoother implemented mechanics in general.

My Roles on the Project:

For this folio presentation, I will only focus on my work in the second half of the project.

1. Level Design
2. Narrative Design
3. User-Experience

1. Level Design

In this late stage of development, my responsibility was to make sure the level flowed well, had an easy difficulty, and was fun to play. The draft levels I had created for this area initially were unfortunately too hard, so I had to redesign everything just over a month before PAX.The new level allows the player to walk around more instead of constantly jumping and makes room for enemies to exist. Pathways have also been used to guide the player towards the main goal, and side platforming is rewarded with collectibles.

I was also involved with assembling the level assets that our 3D modeller Chloe made. This included making sure the primary functionality experience was still there after adding all of the nice assets.

I was constantly playtesting playtesting playtesting, as I wanted to make sure that the level experience was friendly and intriguing. Sadly, I didn't have time to do it much as I was constantly creating new content that didn't even make it into PAX.

I additionally created two extra levels that did not make it into the final build. These included using ice and fire powers, but were not ready to show at PAX due to insufficient playtesting and 3D assets not being ready.

Ice Level Screenshots:

Fire Level Screenshots:

2. Narrative Design

Our game's narrative took a back seat due to my resources being focused on more important areas. However, two aspects were included in the final PAX build:

NPC Characters

The world is filled with little characters called 'Rock Slimes', being so because we didn't have a 3D animator to create slimes. They started as rocks with googly eyes for our placeholders, and the idea stuck with our team.Talking to each one gives quirky dialogue, and usually are accompanied with a prop that ties into their character, creating some fun for the player. My favourite is definitely the Builder Rock, as you can knock over his construction pipes, and he isn't impressed.

The Primary Objective

We didn't have much time to create a fully completable PAX demo, so to make a win condition I introduced the concept of glowing paper fruits found only on paper trees in the environment. When the player sees one, they know where to go, and can then focus on what's in front of them with a purpose.By collecting all five fruits, players can open a portal to complete the demo, providing a clear and engaging goal for them to aim for.

3. User-Experience

Our top priority that we struggled to master over this project was player guidance. We had often just thrown the player into levels that had designs that were confusing to understand, leading to a bad experience.So with the new level design and some tricks, we enhanced it extraordinarily using some elements including:

So, What's to come?

The team hasn't confirmed if we want to continue anytime soon, but I would love to evolve these specific elements:

Will Goob embrace his slime roots to become the prophesied hero or be engulfed by his new paper power to become a bridge between worlds?We will have to wait to find out...

This game was created in the Swinburne subject 'Digital Game Prototyping Lab'.A versus game with a shifting power dynamic
Play as a fly or a scientist. The scientist can use items and lay traps to hinder and
eliminate the fly, while the fly tries to steal the scientist’s chemicals to grow in power to either defeat the scientist or escape.A complex environment allows traps and movement
The environment starts out in a two-story average Aussie house but then transitions underground to the scientist’s multi-levelled expansive underground facility.Different player mechanics and objectives in the same map/s
Each player’s role has its own progression but can be sabotaged by the other player. The Fly is quick and has to build power while the Scientist is slow and begins more powerful.The Scientist mechanics include walking, running, shooting, and protecting (crafting and placing traps cut due to time), while the Fly mechanics include crawling, flying, collecting, (venting and dodging cut due to time).The Swap
The fly gains a short burst of power, causing it to grow massive in size while destroying nearby traps as well as damaging the scientist if he is caught in the burst radius. It will activate when enough chemicals are collected to fill the power bar. The scientist isn’t modified during the ‘swap’, but he will have to adapt his strategy as the enhanced fly outclasses him.Power Progression
The scientist’s items and traps can be upgraded (by collecting materials and crafting
at the main area) while the fly’s movement and size can be upgraded (by collecting
chemicals).Audience and Platform:
This game appeals to people looking to have some fun competing against a friend in
a varied and expressive manner. The game will also have a science fiction and gothic feel in the sense of art style and narrative, which will appeal to people who like those genres of stories.Fans of party games, multiplayer games, puzzle games, first-person shooters and even real-time strategy in a sense, as the game is being designed around laying
traps for an opponent strategically, will all love our game. Aspects such as versus, player progression and outsmarting your opponent play into all these genres super well, and will provide a great balanced experience for both players to battle each other and see who wins.The game would be played on any platform that can deliver a satisfying split-screen experience, being primarily PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

My Roles:

For this game, I mainly focused on three main areas:

1. Level Design
2. User-Interface
3. Audio Design

1. Level Design

One of my main roles was designing the two levels the game would take place in. I started by designing the first level in Adobe Illustrator, and then blocking it in Unity to show the group how it would feel. After that, I went on to start adding materials to the map by importing free assets.

I then went on to design map 2, and instead of making 3 maps, we decided to only have two because our scope was getting too large to finish on time. I then blocked it in like map 1, and then added materials and lighting to the map, and did the same in map 1.After that, the map was looking quite empty, so I started importing free props to populate the map and make it feel like a lab, adding unique flair to each room so the players can differentiate different parts of the map. That also meant creating a spinning collectible for each player to collect, which were a crafting model and a chemical model (image bottom right).

We ended up having to cut map 2 out, which was pretty much complete but we couldn't implement the programming in time to keep it in. It was bigger and more sprawling than map 1, but due to time constraints we didn't have enough time to get it in.Images of maps 1 and 2:

2. User-Interface

After the artist, Cade, had designed the sketched out UI design mock-ups physically, it was my job to transform them into coloured digital designs on photoshop. I applied nice textures and differentiated the scientist and fly UI’s with bug shapes with wacky colours, and rounded shapes with metal to differentiate the sides. The scientist’s side of upgrades didn't make it into the game however.

Here’s how the UI turned out. We ran out of time to implement the scientist’s facial expression changing, however all of the other bars and displays work, such as ammo, health, XP and the rampage metre.

3. Audio Design

I also worked on all of the audio found in the game. This included when the fly is flying, the scientist is walking, and various other sound effects such as both of them attacking. I also kept record of all of the assets we were using on this Google Doc.

Finally, we also had a Trello board, where I kept the tasks I did updated.

Two Sides is a platformer game, made in 3 days for the Jomfy Jam 1 with the theme 'Coin Flip'!

About the Game:

Notice: AI generation was used in generating the image backgrounds for this project. I do not condone using AI generation of any kind in projects, and only tried using it because it was a new unknown technology at the time (which isn't really an excuse).

Detective Conformation is a Twine choose your own adventure game, created in the Swinburne subject 'Writing for Interactive Narratives'.It was made using the SugarCube v2 extension, which allowed me to add images in the background and have a more robust coding system in place.

About the Game:

Detective Conformation is a sci-fi detective game about humanity, where the player must navigate through a murder investigation with an interesting plot twist.You get placed on the task of investigating a murder, and must complete it to get your detective degree to start your own firm. You get assigned a rebellious partner who is quite quirky, and investigate the sci-fi streets of the city Nova Vice.The game has Four endings, each determined by how much you acted as a lifeless robot, or a loving human. Some specific choices also impact what happens at the end, and the story is up to you how you play it.

Survival Island is a survival game where the player takes on the struggle of surviving on a cursed deserted island whilst also making hard narrative choices. This project was only allocated 5 weeks to be made as it was a 'Pervasive Game', but the final product represented a demo of the game. What the full game would have looked like is written further down.I was one of the two narrative designers and writers, and helped write the choices and consequences of the book gameplay. I also worked on the documentation side and other aspects that are shown further down. This game was designed for the Swinburne subject 'Pervasive Game Design'.A Few Screenshots of the Game:

A Short Trailer (showcasing the start of the demo and talking about what the full game would look like):

Mechanics:

About the Full Game:
"Survival Island" is a survival game where players start off aboard a sinking cruise ship. Their objective during this portion of the game is to gather essential supplies and escape the sinking ship. During this ‘phase’ of gameplay the player must contend with a timer, similar to "60 Seconds!", giving players a limited amount of time to collect necessary resources. After the player has gathered the resources they need, and returned to the lifeboat, they may choose to rescue other survivors.After the initial 60 seconds on the sinking cruise ship, players find themselves washed ashore on a mysterious and cursed island. Now, with the supplies they managed to gather from the ship, and the survivors they chose to rescue, they face a new challenge: surviving on this dreadful island.The supplies gathered from the ship will affect how the game plays out and present their own challenges depending on what you gather, allowing for a unique experience every playthrough.Gameplay on the island is separated between ‘Daytime’ and ‘Nighttime’. Throughout the day the player must complete tasks in order to manage their comfort bar and ensure they have enough resources for everyone they are with. The daytime gameplay will also be timed adding to the urgency of the tasks. The player can delegate certain tasks to their companions each day in order to help alleviate some of the time burden, however each companion can only perform one task a day. Your companions bring diverse skills and abilities to the group, so some will be ‘better’ at certain tasks than others; optimizing your delegation is the key to yielding maximum returns on resources.At night the players will work through nightly encounters, via an interactive narrative, that is centered around the curse on the island. Throughout the nightly encounters the players will have to deal with aggressive creatures, and eerie phenomena that test their resourcefulness. As the days pass, the island's curse intensifies, presenting new dangers and increasing the stakes. Players must adapt their strategies, scavenge for additional resources, and uncover the island's secrets to find a way off its accursed shores.

The Demo's Focus and Hopes for the Game:In the playable demo, players are able to go through the first few days upon arrival to the island. The player’s items and companions are chosen for them in order to offer the most all-encompassing playthrough possible. The daily tasks and nightly encounters are also scripted to showcase specific moments of gameplay.Ultimate we wanted to create a unique survival game that offered a bit of flare to the survival genre tropes by fusing concepts and mechanics from games we’ve enjoyed, like ’60 Seconds!’, ‘The Forest’, and even ‘Pathfinder’.Due to time and resource constraints, there were a few things we were unable able complete that could have included:

Some of the things I worked on:
I worked primarily with the other narrative designer on the storyline. Each night the player would have to make a set of choices, so we used Google Docs and then Twine to plan out what the consequences of that would look like.Twine Branching Narratives for each choice Segment:

I also designed the ending screens, where depending on which of the four choices the player gets, the respective ending is shown on the daily newspaperThe Four Ending Newspapers:

Treasure Crusade is a two player versus game based on pong, where players fight from pirate ships by shooting each other's treasure and protecting their own. This game was designed for the Swinburne subject 'Introduction to Game Production'.Points are obtained by destroying enemy treasure and their ship, and first to 10 points wins. Use shields to defend yourself and your treasure. Your ship can be blown up if too many hits are taken so watch out! It will respawn after a few seconds however that leaves your treasure open and vulnerable.

My role was mainly programming the game in Unity with Ash. We implemented features such as dying, respawning, health, score as well as implementing the artwork and gif animations as sprite sheets.

Tools and Services Used:

Midnight Snack (Pervasive Game)

'Midnight Snack' is a game that prioritizes the hearing senses over visual, where a hungry player tries sneaking to the fridge in pitch-black darkness while avoiding making noise which could awake their family. The goal was to have audio as the main mechanic indicating to the player if they have taken the right or wrong path, and if too much is created the sleeping family will awake, making the player lose. We did however have some visual aspect, where lights activate when noises are made so that there is some perceivable direction for the player.The first design area I focused on was the sound design, which was particularly important as each sound that gets played in-game will guide the player in the right direction. Recordings were done originally and collected, with sound effects such as the vase breaking shocks the player, and snoring would highlight to the player to stay away from that area as a family member would awake from noise nearby.

The second area being the level design did not come out as strong as the sound design. We tweaked the design creating multiple drafts, however we wanted to design a house that gave player choice as to where to go but ended up being a little too complex for inexperienced players to handle. This led players to get lost easily. This could have been avoided in a full release by designing easier levels for starting the game off, and then progressively getting more complex, branching, and bigger.

This was only a pervasive game however, so the final build was very rough, but it was more about the mechanics and experimentation of the game.Screenshots of the Final Game:

Journeys (Pervasive Game)

Journeys sees the audience taking the form of the controller and has the intended goal of dwindling the player count until there is only a few players left to claim the title winners. To respond to the Outside the Circle prompt, we wanted players to make decisions in the real-life space of the room they played in instead of on a screen. It succeeded, with its biggest strength being the social aspect of players seeing other’s decisions and talking about reasoning with them.Each of our four writer created a short narrative in a different genre to illustrate how the Unity game could function over various storyline genres and with different experimental choice scenarios.My story was inside the genre of science fiction, and the unique scenarios worked quite well, such as players placing their hands on their head so they would remember an earlier choice they did and eliminating players in special ways such as based on clothing colour.Although these aspects were intertwined with chance, it was what the core of the game was designed as, like how sometimes in real life we cannot fight randomness. We did leave hints however in the writing, which could have been a deeper mechanic.

Screenshots of the Final Game:

Scurvy Turvy (Pervasive Game)

Scurvy Turvy sees the player take control of a pirate surgeon who performs on patients in an unsteady pirate ship. Barrels fly around and the player may face other obstacles, but your goal is to successfully cure your pirate patient of anything they are diagnosed with (e.g. scurvy).Here is the in-game synopsis:
Meet Dockland ‘Doc’ Tarr, previously the saltiest scourge of the seas and now a reformed sea surgeon aboard The Precarious Pearl. The ship is currently battling against ships full of money hungry Privateers. As the battle rages on, more and more sailors are in need of your (arguably questionable) skills.Doc will need to patch (or chop … mostly chop) up broken sailors and get them back out there to lose more limbs. Unfortunately for the Doc, who's probably already drunk, the sea is about as angry as the privateers and The Precarious Pearl is catching some big waves.Your objective is to perform your surgeries while the seas throw you and your patients all around the sick bay.The mechanics of the game include:

• Running around
• Moving barrels/environment
• Timing your chop perfectly, with the two cutting items as options
• Item mechanics listed above under ‘items’, with different uses - different cutting tools with one having high risk but high reward
• You can grab items but only one at a time, you have to be facing it, and they move around the ship with the barrels
• Harming the patient randomly will make you automatically lose the game
• The goal can be to either save as many pirates as you can in the time limit (infinite patients), or save one patient (or set number of patients) by the end of the time limit
• Every 15 seconds, a modifier affects the gameplay for a short amount of time, Lasting 5-10 seconds

Miscellaneous Ideas for if it was developed into a full game:

• Timer based
• A chance of privateers coming down to fight the doc as he’s doing surgery, so you have to use the sword to fight
• Repair the ship’s hull. Items such as wooden planks could block up holes to increase time limit
• Dialogue wheels. The doc must convince the pirates that they need the surgery, or after the surgery they can convince them to join the team. Could also be used to direct away enemies after you finish with the patients
• Items that help with certain modifiers
• Called up to fight. There’s a chance that the crew above needs help in some way, so you have to exit the hull to the main area of the ship and help in some way. Either fighting pirates, firing the cannons, helping steer or anything the pirate crew needs

One Hell of a Performance Review (Tabletopia)

Our Group's Digital Board Game 'One Hell of a Performance Review' on Tabletopia. This was for the Swinburne subject 'Principles of Game Design'.

In our Group, I took on the role of designing the Tabletopia build of the game. This meant creating the game on the Tabletopia website, importing artwork done by the artist onto playing cards, and creating boards for the players.Below are the first drafts for the Player's Boards, the Main Playing Board and the Magnetic map for the Main Playing Board, which allow cards to snap into place correctly:

After some playtesting, changes were made to both boards, such as labels for the Main Board's card slots, added magnetic map to the Player's board, and more card slots to play on for the Main Board.

But before showing the final Tabletopia build, this is an image of the first build:

This is the first Tabletopia Build, with no main board, missing decks and no player areas for their cards.

And here are the Final Tabletopia In-Game Images:
