    paper LEGO Ninjago Legends: Kai's Monstrous Journey

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    LEGO Ninjago Legends: Kai’s Monstrous Journey is a three-episode miniseries fully rendered and animated within Unreal Engine 5.

    paper Ragdoll Rumble

    https://www.twine.net/signin

    Ragdoll Rumble is our team’s university capstone project released on Steam. Designed as a local multiplayer experience for 2-4 players, you play as magic dolls brought to life, able to cast spells and use elixirs to blast your friends away. We aim to combine wild arena gameplay, vibrant visuals and crazy spells to create a party game for friends to enjoy.

    My main role as Level Designer allowed me to design arenas with various layouts, settings and unique gameplay mechanics. I drew inspirations from games like Halo and Quake, distilling their powerup-based map design into simple but memorably wacky party game locations.
