The Mission

I began my work on SCOPA as a Tech Design Intern. My role was to make feedbacks for the game by making up particule systems, creating events, scripts and combining existing assets to the controller and enemies.

Prototyping

Designed and iterated on core gameplay systems through rapid prototyping to validate mechanics, pacing, and player flow.
Implemented and adjusted gameplay and items logic in C# to test interactions between movement, combat, and level structure.
Analyzed playtest and QA feedback to refine mechanics and improve overall game readability, content and balance.

Content & Level Design

Designed and built multiple parkour-focused rooms, emphasizing flow, readability, and skill-based traversal.
Designed and programmed several unique items for different kind of player behaviour, creating a feel of power as you accumulate them

UI & Game Feels

Improved game feel by integrating feedback systems (camera shake, animations, easing, particle effects...) using DOTween, C# and Feel package.
Enhanced UX by synchronizing gameplay data with UI elements to ensure clarity, responsiveness, and player feedback.
Assisted in QA testing by reviewing gameplay footage to identify UX issues, feel inconsistencies, and usability problems.
