Lay is a group project in which I was mainly a level designer . In particular, I worked with the team of programmers and graphic designers on an island, civilization island .

In the design phase I was in charge of finding the concept and iterating game levels. I started on paper , I established a large quantity of them , but also a lot of puzzles in order to find a feeling in interesting game all with the aim of finding the best ergonomics and immersion for the player.

In parallel, I wrote the Level Design Document and the development of the explanations of the puzzles on Photoshop.

In production I mainly created the civilization island blockout then the implementation of puzzles, GPEs. I ended up playing testing, fixing bugs, testing the player's workflow so that they have the best gaming experience possible.
