Level Designer Profile

I design narrative-aware dungeons, towns, and overworld spaces where navigation, combat, and puzzles support each other. My focus is on clear spatial logic, readable encounters, and environments that quietly teach players how to move and think.

What I bring:

Dungeon and overworld layouts with multiple routes and exploration rewards.
Puzzle logic, gating systems, and quest-driven spatial progression.
Combat encounter layouts that improve enemy readability and player tactics.
Strong attention to difficulty curves, player flow, and navigation clarity.
Gameplay scripting for traps, triggers, quests, and interactive events.

Tools & tech:

Unreal Engine 4 / 5 (Blueprints, UMG), Unity, Game Maker and custom engines.
Programming in C++ and Lua for gameplay logic and tools.
Blender / Cinema4D, Photoshop for level and content support.
Git, Perforce, Jira, Confluence; experience working in Agile/Scrum teams.

Featured Projects

Amber Island

Full expansion mod for Might & Magic VII: For Blood and Honor

Amber Island is a full expansion for Might & Magic VII: For Blood and Honor, featuring a standalone campaign with new story content, quests, dungeons, and locations. The project includes several custom features and has surpassed 10,000+ downloads.

Every dungeon was deliberately built to exceed the complexity of the original game. Players consistently praised the level quality, noting that the design feels thoughtful and created with genuine passion. Each area was carefully shaped to make exploration exciting and rewarding.

My contributions & design focus:

Built large multi-path dungeons that offer players freedom in how they progress.
Placed meaningful points of interest that reward exploration and curiosity.
Applied principles of player psychology and perspective to subtly guide navigation.
Worked within the limitations of a legacy engine, optimizing geometry and asset use.
Balanced difficulty to match the campaign’s intended progression and pacing.

Smintheus

Solo-developed action-adventure puzzle game (commercial release on Steam)

Smintheus is a solo-developed action-adventure puzzle game where players craft and combine gadgets to overcome obstacles while being hunted by an immortal creature. It was released commercially on Steam.

Level design is central to the gameplay: every area is built as both a challenge and the solution, requiring the player to understand and manipulate the environment. I focused heavily on handcrafted spaces with clear logic, natural communication, and believable structure.

Level design highlights:

Designed “silent tutorials,” using level layout to teach mechanics without text.
Built environments that resemble real locations rather than abstract “gamey” arenas.
Blended multiple puzzle styles (e.g., Sokoban-like movement, “Incredible Machine”-style contraptions).
Used enemy types as puzzle mechanics, where defeating or avoiding them is part of the solution.
Wrote story elements, dialogues, and lore to make exploration more engaging.
Carefully balanced levels, optimizing routes and possible solutions for fairness and clarity.
