GAME DESIGN/LEVEL DESIGN
JAN 2025(2 DAYS)
Bubba Gramp is a game jam project made with 2 of my friends with the topic “Bubbles” our time frame to complete this project was 2 days.
My role in this project was as a game designer/level designer, as the roles were decided and we got to work I focused my full efforts on level designing. In a short span of time, we came up with idea of a ball bouncing around the platform to reach your goal.
We also knew we wanted to keep a character inside this ball, so to make it visible we made it a bubble. Thus the name BUBBA GRAMP.
With the short time we had, I focused my efforts on designing one big level. I first did some asset research before creating the level, which gave the inspiration for the levels aesthetic. I knew the game was going to have a cute aesthetic to it so I wanted to make a wild looking level.
Since it is a 3d platformer with a mechanic that can be abused to speed-run the game, I had to create environments that allow freedom of expression while spacing out stages of the game so the player does not skip half the game.
The first stage starts with grass lands the second an arcade and finally a Lego land, Which adds to the games absurdity. choosing a fitting OST and sfx was also a task of mine, so finding a sound that fits this games cute and cozy atmosphere along with fast paced action was a fun task to do.
