Pitch of the project (In French)
Gif of the switching mechanic and its use for a puzzle.
The environmental storytelling helped us draw this general layout for the different levels (beginning of the project).
Document briefing and gathering the game's directions.
Reflection
-
Since having an interest in video games, I have always been drawn to puzzle-platformer games with strong storytelling. This project allowed me to do research and learn about puzzle design.
Then, having a top-down way of developing games, thinking of environmental storytelling helped a lot with the levels' layout.

-
This project was also my first collaboration with Game Programming students. It allowed us to focus essentially on the Game and Level Design of the game and discuss with them which values to tweak, what behaviors our gameplay elements had, and what to cut.
Credits
It has been realized in collaboration with 3 other Game Design students: William GARRABOS, Arthur MAGNAN, and Henri VIELLARD, and 2 Game Programming students: Rémi GINER, and Félix CHEVALIER.
