The game I worked on as an intern Game Design at Dirty Paws Studio. I helped in designing the progression & reward systems the game will feature, and blockouts and the mechanical progression of the tutorial. More info about the game

Designing these systems was a very good exercise in communication, as I joined a team in progress and had to understand their vision and what the various systems I was designing had to achieve. I went through many iterations of designing, asking and integrating feedback. In the end, I designed the overall progression of the game and the various reward and progression systems that the game will feature.

I also helped in designing the tutorial of the game. My job was to figure out what and how the players learn in the tutorial, and then create sketches for the levels. I ended up creating 12 levels.

A level I designed. This level aims to teach the player about branching conduits, and is set up in a way that helps the player figure this mechanic out without being too explicit.

A review of my internship by my mentor.

Snek.Game - Klagenfurt X Coventry Jam

A puzzle game where each level gets more ridicilous than the last (inspired by What The Golf), I programmed and did mechanic design. Made with Unity. Play the game on itch.io!

A Beesy Week - Sustainability Board Game Jam

A co-op boardgame designed for children, where players work together as bees to polinate as many flowers as possible before the end of the week. I did the game design. View the game on itch.io!

Crab it - AI & Games Jam

Created at the 6th International Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Games in Malta, Crab It is a game where the player has to imitate a crab controlling a canon, using their body. During the summer school we got to learn about various AI technologies such as body movement tracking, which we applied in this game. The game was made in Unity and got third place.

Entomophobia- The Park VR Jam 2024

Ever wished you could re-experience trying to sleep but being assaulted by buzzing mosquitos, in VR? No? Well… we made it anyway. Using hand-tracking technology, our team developed a VR game where the goal is to kill the mosquitos swarming your room by moving around and clapping your hands. The game was made in Unity.

Bertle Royale- 6th Klagenfurt Winter Jam

Bertle Royale is a party card game where you want to be the last Bert standing, themed after the mascotte Gamebert. The game ended in second place for the Game Design, Fun, and Overall categories, and third place for Creativity. I designed the game and the various cards and their effects.View the game on itch.io!

Why The Long Gun? - 3 Gnomes Game Jam 2024

A procedurally generated rogue-like where instead of switching guns when you find a new one, you just attach them to each other. I helped with programming and designing. Made with a team of 8 people, in Godot. Play the game on itch.io!

A 2D platformer level editor in which I have made many "troll" levels. Troll levels are a special type that try to predict what the player will do and punishes them for it, in an entertaining manner. Combining clever traps with a healthy dose of slapstick, troll levels aim to constantly subvert the expectations of the player. They are a happy accident resulting from the simplistic complexity of the Mario Maker games, and over the past eight years, a large community has grown around them, of which I've had the pleasure to be a part of. My levels have been played/seen over 14 million times.

Arguably the most crucial element of designing such levels is iteration and playtesting, to make sure a level's predictions actually match what players do and to refine the cues the level gives the player so they don't get lost.

Here are the two levels that I consider my best
