What I did on Deficio

Role : Game Designer | Level Designer | Programmer

Programmed the teleport core mechanic & a launch power system with thresholds
Created a dynamic UI layer linked to the player’s throwing power
Used a CAD software to design/synthesize the level ( Separated into layers in LibreCAD )
Did the blockmeshing of the prototype, with 3D self-made textured props
Cared about player orientation in space while blockmeshing
Created a destructible glass object ( Destroying itself in pieces when touched )
Did stream the project’s development on Twitch

What is Deficio ?

Deficio is a First person platform prototype, where the player can throw a cube, with various strenghts, that allows him to teleport at the cube’s position.

Some examples of what's in the prototype !

Intentions / Others

Building a level around a mechanic

This prototype was an opportunity to get better at building a level around a specific mechanic, such as the teleporter.

I really wanted to design a level with strong intentions like freedom of movement, different possibilities/paths, a feeling of vertigo…

I also wanted to add variety by introducing this destructible glass material, that illustrate my will about making this throw mechanic a way to move in space AND interact with content in it !
