Level Design II Team Project.
Producer.
Lead Level Designer.
This was the first time Full Sail students were placed into groups to work with the Unreal Development Kit. Our team was to develop a few different types of encounters for the player to experience.
This was a fun project to work on but it wasn’t without its challenges. As online students working on group projects we’ve learned from first hand experience that it is important to plan and communicate with everyone on the team. It’s also important to set up and respect boundaries of specific roles. We also learned it is important to set up proper conventions for streaming levels. Had we set up our streaming levels in a more traditional way we could have avoided some problems that arose during development.

A fun game that a group of Full Sail game development students created for the 2012 Global Game Jam. This game features easy accessibility and low difficulty threshold. We all had a fun time on the project we had great team chemistry and good communication. We hope to work with each other again in the future.
Borne was developed using XNA Game Studio 4.0 for Windows PC and Windows Phone.
