Tezca is the year-end project I participated in as a Game Designer, Narrative Designer, Level Designer, and Programmer during my first year of Master\u2019s degree in Game Design at 3iS Paris. Our team consisted of 10 people: 7 3D Game Artists, 2 2D Game Artists, and 1 Game Designer. The only constraint given to us was to create an open-world game using Unreal Engine 4.26 within six months.

For this project, I was in charge not only for the design and programming of various game mechanics but also for the narrative design and the level design of the open world.

Additionally, at the start of the project, I had to write a One Page Document to present the project to the jury, followed by a Game Concept Document during our concept milestone.
In parallel, I also wrote the Game Design Document to ensure the entire team had the same knowledge base and could work cohesively.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Designing and integrating engaging and satisfying game mechanics in an open world was the biggest challenge. To make this possible within the project’s timeframe, I had to learn to use the necessary software and, most importantly, learn to program in Blueprint.

The game is aimed at casual players, so the difficulty had to be adjusted to suit this target audience. To achieve this, the 3Cs (Camera, Controls, Character) also needed to be adapted for the general public as much as possible. The atomic parameters that allow for difficulty management in the gameplay had to be carefully considered to ensure the game was fun for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n
