RaccoonRush – (12 - 2025)
School project
This game is a short narrative stealth prototype developed in 5 days as part of a school project, using Unreal Engine 5 and created by a team of three.
The main goal of the project was to learn and experiment with Unreal Engine, with a strong focus on Blueprints, game design, and level design. There was no objective related to advanced visuals or textures — the project prioritizes gameplay systems and interactions.
The Last Coffee– (11 - 2025)
School project
This project is a one-week school assignment, developed by a team of three, with the goal of creating a small playable prototype focused on applying core Game Design and Level Design techniques.
- Mission prototyping, using multiple Blueprints to create modular proto-missions
- Advanced level blocking, ensuring readable spaces and smooth player navigation
- Gameplay flow and pacing, guiding the player naturally through the environment
- Rapid iteration to test mechanics and level structure within a short production timeframe
Ship rescue – (12 - 2025)
School Project
As part of this project, I created a level blocking in one week based on the theme of rescuing a distressed ship. The player must cross the deck of the vessel in order to reach the helm.
This work focuses on the fundamentals of Level Design: path readability, pacing, and player guidance through spatial composition. The blocking provides a solid foundation to test navigation flow and objective clarity before moving on to visual polish.
