Pieces

Project Length: 3 months

Team Size: 1 Lead Designer and 2 level designers

The game, Pieces, has undergone multiple semesters of development with the collaboration of several designer and artist teams. As the lead designer of my team for the final semester, working alongside two other level designers, we took complete responsibility for debugging and polishing all the levels to prepare for a university event demo.

Other levels

My team members were responsible for debugging the Snowball and Dreamforest levels, so my contribution to those levels was minimal. However, I did keep tabs on their progress and offered assistance whenever needed. Fortunately, there weren't many issues that required my attention, aside from some minor bug fixes and tweaks to certain cutscenes.
