Team Project — FutureGames
Overview Mondi is a precision platformer where you play as a slime-like creature that sticks to surfaces and remotely controls drones. Designed as an all-ages experience that younger players could enjoy alongside family members. Levels combine gravity-defying traversal with environmental storytelling, collectibles, and light puzzle elements.
My design focus was to build engaging, readable levels that reward curiosity and reflect the unique player abilities. I also led daily production rituals to keep the team aligned and motivated during development.
🎯 Key Design Contributions
- Level Design for Player Ability: Designed levels to support the wall-climbing mechanic, using geometry, hazards, and visual cues to guide exploration and risk.
- Traversal Flow & Platforming: Integrated flying drones as interactive platforming elements, allowing for creative movement chains and puzzle variety.
- Environmental Signposting: Used in-world props shaped like arrows and collectible fruits to subtly guide players toward goals and encourage replayability.
- Narrative Integration: Embedded light narrative arcs for curious players, creating side paths and hidden rooms that reward exploration.
🧩 Production & Team Leadership
- Scrum Master: Facilitated daily standups with structured updates (Yesterday / Today / Blockers).
- Team Morale & Communication: Introduced creative “Question of the Day” prompts to break ice, reduce friction, and support team bonding — improving daily participation and mood.
- Agile Planning: Balanced team preferences for solo vs collaborative work styles to maintain momentum and reduce bottlenecks.

🌱 Reflection
This project sharpened my ability to design around movement mechanics, as well as my understanding of team needs during fast-paced development. It taught me the value of clear level structure, thoughtful signposting, and the balance between creative autonomy and structured collaboration.
