Might as well say it, it was a brand-new challenge for me. My experience at Ubisoft was split in two main parts that were essential: The challenge of working on a remake and living through a huge production.

As level designer, my job on Prince of Persia was to recreate the experience of the original one. I was in charge of several levels and it was essentially the technical part of a level designer job. I had to implement every aspect of the level: Gameplay ingredients, Dialogues, Camera cutscenes, breakable assets, parkour setup and IA management (enemies and Farah). It was a meticulous work on the metrics as well, to be able to replicate the same feeling.

I also spent a lot of time creating collision meshes for my levels and collision refinement for the entire game. Towards the end of the production, I mainly worked on debugging the levels.

Working on a AAA production for the first time, it was an opportunity to use tools that I hadn’t touched  in such a deep way before, like Jira and Confluence.

I worked with all the teams on the project. It was a huge challenge, because it is a young studio in India. They don’t have many people with experience so it was a totally new experience for everyone.
