En Garde! (2018)

• Genre:

  Swashbuckling Action-Adventure Game

• Description:

  En Garde! is a video game made during my fifth and last year of Game Design Master's Degree at Supinfogame Rubika, as a graduation project. We were a team of 8 students and we developed this prototype for 9 months, from October 2017 to June 2018.

  It's a swashbuckling action-adventure game set in 17th century's Spain. Play as Adalia de Volador, a noble & impetuous swordswoman!

  During this project, I was Game Designer & AI Designer.

• What I did:

  • Nine months of development, from pre-production through to polish and debug.
  • Designing the 3Cs, the game systems, the combat system and the gameplay elements.
  • Designing AI behaviors and archetypes, and writing the documentation for the Programmers.
  • Prototyping environmental interactions and an endless combat arena for testing.
  • Gameplay tweaking and balancing on a daily basis, directly in the Game Engine.
  • Coordination, supervision and analysis of the playtest sessions at the GameLab, Serre Numérique.
