Game Details
Prototype Painter was developed during my first semester at SAE Frankfurt as part of my Games Programming studies. Built in Unity, it was showcased at PlayCon 2024, where it received positive feedback, particularly from younger visitors. This is largely thanks to the level design of the demo. I applied Nintendo’s four-step system for teaching new mechanics to my own game, and it turned out to be incredibly effective. Even 9-year-olds at the convention, many of whom had never used a keyboard and mouse before were able to play the game without any explanation. That experience really showed me how crucial good game design is.
