Samples:
The video to the right showcases the variety of room designs I have created across the three levels in the game. Rooms include self-contained puzzles, platforming segments, and secrets to find. Some rare unlockable characters are gated behind puzzles that span the entire level, or are awarded at the end of secret environments that are reached via portals.
Room themes range from school hallways, classrooms, cafeterias, gymnasiums, locker rooms, and indoor pools.
Below is a comparison between initial UI wireframe samples the final UI created by the art team.
These wireframes supported the development of a feature update we designed to increase player engagement and retention.
