Paper Alchemist is a project that tested my UX and Level Design skills. My task was to build a structure for a level and surround it with a hypothetical context of a full game. That included investing thought in the art style, narration type or creating a burndown chart for the introduction of mechanics in other levels. However, most work went into creating the actual level and iterating it based on tester feedback, as well as other elements of level design like breadcrumb trails, player attention and memory distribution, or goals. Summarizing the visual and theoretical efforts, I created a GDD which you can find and read at the bottom of this page.

Some other tasks included writing code for the game's basic functionality, like keyboard and gamepad controls, camera movement, or the basic inventory. Regarding the camera, I experimented with the math for creating bezier curves.
