My current (and first!) project as Game, Narrative and Level Designer

SELINI is a much anticipated metroidvania game currently in development by CYMBAN studios, to be released on all platforms (PC, Steam Deck, PS5, XBOX and Switch) in 2024.
The game raised over 20k euros in its kickstarter campaign, surpassing all expectations of CYMBAN owner and SELINI creator, Antreas.
My work (ongoing) ranges from story linearity and progression up to core game mechanics and level design. It’s a beautifully designed 3D platformer and probably one of the best ways a designer could begin his career, as Antreas is all about discussion, brainstorming and creative freedom.
A truly unique experience.
