Liveware Glitch is a parkour inspired platformer, with Cyberpunk aesthetics.
​​
Working with a small team, I created the gameplay and world of the game to focus on movement and speed.​
​
I was responsible for the Game and Level Design, but also worked on the world-building and characters with the rest of the team.
Development
I designed the world of the Vertical Slice to be a large, open path, so that the player's had enough space to use the movement mechanics to the fullest and to feel powerful while performing great leaps and maneuvers.
​
The level was linear but on a very open area, so I had to pay close attention to the navigation and signposting of the level, putting a great emphasis on color and light to guide the player.
Screenshots
From the beginning, LG was focused on movement and fluid platforming.
​
We brainstormed various ideas, and refined the movement mechanics with the intent of making the platforming satisfying and fun.
​
The intent was to make the gameplay easy to grasp but to leave room for players to improve and master the mechanics on their own.
