Design for Dual Universe
Dual Universe, a product of Novaquark, is a spacefaring MMO centered on social systems, market simulation, building, and complex physics. These aspects all combine to produce a truly unique experience that blends the creativity of Minecraft with the depth of Eve Online.
Level Design on this project was largely centered around the First-Time user experience, with a focus on tutorials and gameplay guidance. Careful planning, thorough documentation and rapid prototyping were all necessary to ensure the highest quality of added content. Puzzles and events were a part of this as well.
