“3lob is an action game mixing platform and puzzles in which you play as a little metamorphosing slime!”
Working conditions
​
Group project (6 Game designer students + 3 Game programming student)
As Game designers, we created the global Game design as well as 6 levels (+ a hub) for 3lob. I also was in charge of the visual aspect of the game (3D modeling/animation).
​
This work began in particular conditions: we had to work home because of global lockdown during the 2020 health crisis. As I had already worked from home before this experience, game’s creation went well.
Project
​
Within 3lob, we wanted to emphasize on versatility and adaptability through the use of 3 different character forms: the sticky, the solid and the bouncing one.
​
Regarding game’s visual aspect, I wanted to communicate a sense of contrast between the environment and the slime itself: a cute scientific experience in a sinister mad scientist’s laboratory.
​
During the level design phase, we were looking to make game situations similar to real “mini-puzzles”. That is why we have chosen to use level and gameplay bricks this way (in both the action and the puzzle way).
Design documents
​
In terms of Game design, we created several documents:
- a One Page Concept Document, summarizing and presenting the game
- a Gameloops Document, presenting gameplay loops (goal/challenge/reward)
- a 3C Document, presenting the camera, the character and the controller
- a Rational Level Design Document, allowing to analyse and balance the different levels
- a Debug Document, allowing to give QA information to programmers
- a Features List, presenting the game's features
