A two-character puzzle game played on a single controller, players need to utilize special abilities of each character in order to solve puzzles and progress. A vertical slice created as a capstone for a Game Level Design (Post-Graduate) degree, it consists of 6 levels designed to teach, test and challenge with each of the games core mechanics. I took on a great deal of responsibility on this project. My contributions include:



My design-related experience on DUO includes:
  • • As Project Manager, created and managed tickets and epochs and ensured that each team member met their required objectives via Hack'n'Plan.
  • • Responsible for the Game Pitch.
  • • Drafted and updated all relevant game documentation.
  • • Wrote and implemented all narrative elements.
  • • Worked iteratively with programmers to test and fine-tune the character controller, puzzle functionality and overall gameplay.
  • • Responsible for Camera, Character and Control elements (3C) across all levels.
  • • Handled all lighting-related elements within the game.
  • • Solely responsible for Level Design, including prototyping, implementation and testing.

Metrics were key on this project, with exact measurements needed in order to make certain each puzzle could be solved and the block-pushing mechanic was able to properly function. This required careful planning and implementation of elements to maximize the use of each character without confusing the player.
