Flåklypa Grand Prix is a re-imagining of a classic beloved Norwegian IP. It is a minigame compilation/racing game that I worked on in collaboration with Ravn Studio.
On this project I helped design all aspects of certain mini-games, including systems, mechanics, controller input, levels and general feel. The minigames I designed are: Bee Maze, Ride Down the Mountain, and Bike Repair. I also made minor design and game balancing contributions to the Balloon Hunt and Apple Harvest minigames as well.
For these minigames I also provided design consultation to the client as well as updated the original game’s concept with contemporary design standards.

Captain Sabertooth & the Magic Diamond is a client project in which I worked with Ravn Studio to create an action platformer based on a beloved Norwegian IP.
During this project we were given a GDD from the client which I used to design levels and mechanics as well as offer general design consultation.
I handled gameplay balancing, including player controller tuning, enemy behaviors, boss iteration, and minigame difficulty.

Contributions:

Worked closely with the client to design and pitch the game’s concept.
Designed rules & power-ups.
Designed levels and communicated with artists and programmers to meet the game’s tight deadline.
