Plasticity - May 2019
My Role: Designer
Plasticity was an Advanced Game Project at USC. This 2.5D cinematic puzzle platformer takes place in the year 2140, in a future where plastic consumption never ceased. As players traverse the devastated world, they are tasked with making decisions that either help or harm the environment. After players reach a certain point of the game, the true impact of these choices is revealed.
I was one of 3 designers in our larger team of 30. Some of my responsibilities on the team were:
-
Crafting thought-provoking puzzles with two nuanced solutions that inspire introspection.
-
Documenting and paper-prototyping level designs and communicating those design with the art, engineering, and usability teams.
-
Greyboxing and implementing puzzles in Unity using Probuilder, Photoshop, and Engineering tools.
-
Designing scaffolding to teach players the ropes of the game in an intuitive and diegetic manner.
-
Collaborating with usability to interpret playtest data and iterate on puzzles.
Plasticity is free to download on Steam and is available here.
