Level Designer Gameplay Specialist en Limbic Entertainment GmbH in Memories of Mars.

Level Designer Gameplay Specialist for the Heroes of Might and Magic 7 project. Here at Limbic, I was the link between Game Design and Level Design. As a gameplay specialist I have had a part in developing the engine tools, gave various input on balance, created and implemented new improvements and features for the final game. In addition, I designed the game's achievements as well as created the gameplay part for 26 out of the grand total of 62 maps included in the initial game release. I also helped my Level Design teammates with gameplay inquiries and provided feedback for most of their maps on how to improve the experience for the players. In my work, I pay meticulous attention to detail, causing many discussions on how to implement new features, or change existing ones most conveniently for both end-users and level designers. My expertise lies largely in conveying and maintaining proper game flow to the maximum enjoyment when playing the game, as I feel that games should first and foremost be fun to play. This focus has left my visual aesthetic skills rather pale in comparison, but I am always ready to collaborate and co-operate to improve my own and others' creations when called upon.
