My Role: Puzzle Designer & Usability Researcher

My Contribution:

• Conduct in-depth analysis and research on real-life hiking trails, including the terrain characteristics, ecological environment, and landscape elements. Apply the research results to the game map design to ensure the authenticity of the paths in the game, thereby enhancing player immersion.
• Establish rules for character-environment interactions, detailing the character’s responses and behaviors in different situations, such as the protagonist’s movement restrictions after a leg injury. Use these guidelines to design the interaction logic between systems.
• Draw the game maps, including key points of interest (POIs) such as waterfalls, caves, and lookout points, as well as other landscape and environmental elements like rivers, mountains, and forests. Construct the layers and boundaries of the map to create a cohesive and engaging game environment.
