Individual Contribution

Design

• Documentation: One of my task as a game designer is to document as specifically as posible everything. These documents are of game pilars, GDD, features, balancing, first ideas, UI, etc.

• Level Design and maps: Another task is the level and map designs. Working with Tiled, and lots of sketches, I’ve done all the maps working in the different “zones” separately and then joining them.

• Balancing: Balancing is a really important part and it took lots of hours and iterations. I’ve worked with David Valdivia on the balance of the game, in order to make a funny and fair gameplay.

• UI: As a designer, I’ve also worked in the UI design. What information should be shown to the player, where should it be displayed and in what circumstances, etc.

Code

• UI: I’ve colaborated with my teammates with the UI logic. Units selection information, building menu, groups selection, King Terenas dialogs, advice messages, etc; have been some of my task on the programming of the UI.

• Ships: Ships of the Horde that brings the enemies to the player’s base. There are 4 different directions by which they can come.

• Video Player: I’ve implemented a video player module to reproduce the intro of the team.

• Criters paws sprites.
