FEEDBACK & PLAYTESTS

CORE INFORMATION

One enhancement I could make to this level is to reassess my lines of sight and flanking options. While some are engaging, others may benefit from playtesting in a live multiplayer session to gather insights into player choices during matches.

One challenge I encountered was the lack of player data for testing and iterating on the map. To address this, I had to rely on feedback from teachers to make necessary adjustments.

RESPONSABILITIES

RESEARCH

When conducting research, I typically watch gameplay videos or play the game myself, if possible. Afterward, I create a Miro board to organize and analyze the information.

METRICS AND DOCUMENTATION

Before beginning my design process, I establish the metrics for my level and create a first 2D layout. This step is crucial for achieving the desired game feel.

CREATING A FUN EXPERIENCE

Once the metrics are established, the objective is to craft an immersive environment that enhances gameplay and provides players with a memorable experience.

FEEDBACK & ITERATIONS

Finally, comes playtesting.
Having my map tested by my peers is a crucial step in collecting feedback and refining the level.

“With a fair understanding of the development pipelines in Unity and Unreal Engine. My practical experience showcases a keen understanding of the game development process.
Additionally, I have successfully navigated projects using engines like GameMaker, demonstrating versatility and fearlessness in embracing new challenges. “
