I've worked on the game "Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle" out at the end of August 2017 on the Nintendo Switch.

As this game is a tactical game, "creating a level" means to define the topography (shape and heights), the layout of covers, the numbers, types, and spawning times of enemies, as well as the objective of a battle. On top of that, some battle layouts are reused in challenges : other battles with a harder objective and a different pattern of enemies.

I created levels and challenges for the game during the main part of production time. My work was to define intentions and make a first draft on several levels, as well as to test and modify other levels in collaboration with other level designers.
I also worked on some other elements of the game : layout of exploration zones, puzzles, coins and mushrooms positioning.
I gave feedback and made new propositions on Game Design elements and mechanics. I also proposed and redacted specifications of some gameplay elements.
I challenged the game system by looking for extreme situations and potential exploits. Then I suggested some possible corrections to the game designers.
I worked on the overall balancing of the game (weapons, skill tree, challenges).

I've worked with people of different positions (GD, art, animation, sound, tech,...) to make propositions, give feedback, deal with any constraints linked to tech and/or resources, and ensure good understanding among the team.
