Notable Design Contribution

Helped in contributing and developing the game and level design in multiple places in Thala (first area of the game).  As this game is meant to teach coding and the first area is sort of the introduction chapter to it, I helped design levels and structures that allowed to act as fun puzzles for the player to solve but also acts as problem question that help teach and guide player to solve the puzzle through coding.

Design and conceptualized puzzles and structure used in the first and second area of the game where it still promotes and encourage player to learn and code to solve puzzles but also able to be fun in the more conventional gameplay way of puzzle-solving such as adding elements from platformer, jigsaw puzzle, match 3, and other game elements into teaching coding.

Designed and conceptualized architecture and structures that were used in the level and puzzle design as the game has a theme of restoration, I helped in designing the gameplay to fit the game theme of player using coding to create structures to restore parts of the world.

One of the core experience and gameplay concept I design for this game was to enhance and make sure that the player feel that they are actually fighting a robot. As many souls game use beast and monsters that have a conventional HP and need to deplete it to defeat it. To give the game a unique twist, I designed the enemies to only have a stagger bar and to defeat it, they must staggered the robot so that it will reveal its heart and only then they can be destroyed as an automaton unlike things that are alive is that robots will never get tired and will keep doing what it supposed to do unless its core component is damaged. 

​

The focus in the combat gameplay experience and design was to  have that feeling of impact and grit in their attacks and when they get hit. We try to achieve this with myriad of stuff just to make the combat and the player hits to actually give out that feel of contact such as hitstop, hit vfx, sound effects, animation and camera shake, all of this to make sure player feel satisfied when hitting the enemy, especially during a parry.
