During our second 4-week game project at Futuregames, I worked together with Douglas to create Mondi. A beautiful platformer featuring our little slime called Mondi. His expertise in level design and game design in general, made the project possible in such a short time. Looking forward to work with Douglas again and create more awesome games.

Introduction
Mondi is a game created in four weeks in the Unreal Engine 4. The Milestones we had to meet to pass the course was Environmental Storytelling, Destruction and Exploration.
Level Design
I led a design team of three people and also worked as a level designer. I had to be really aware of where I placed every asset and platform. Since we had a semi-fixed camera I had to work a lot with composition and framing. Making levels without a waypoint and trying to tell a story without a single word of exposition was a stimulating and fun challenge. I really enjoyed making these kinds of levels.
