(Not So Super) Super Spy

(Not So Super) Super Spy! is an stealth game made at Future games Stockholm in 5 weeks for Game Project 4.

• ON ITCH

This project is a stealth-based game where players control Robin, a blind relic hunter, and his hacker assistant. The goal is to reclaim stolen artifacts from a corrupt antique collector. The game’s unique mechanic is the 2nd-person camera perspective, which allows players to control the character through in-world security cameras.The game centers around Robin, a blind protagonist, on a mission to retrieve stolen ancient relics from a corrupt collector. The player controls Robin indirectly through a unique 2nd-person camera system, manipulating the environment via security cameras to guide her through obstacles, avoid enemies, and complete missions. The narrative explores the theme of moral ambiguity, as players must 'do the right thing in the wrong way'—stealing back stolen artifacts.The core gameplay loop revolves around stealth, environmental interaction, and strategic manipulation of enemy behavior. Players must learn to outsmart enemies, use the environment to their advantage, and navigate increasingly complex levels.Final Boss Phase – Mastery Level DesignAs the Level Designer responsible for the third level, or Final Boss Phase, my focus was on crafting a climactic and challenging experience that would bring together everything the player had learned so far in the game. The Mastery Level was designed to be a true test of stealth, environmental manipulation, and strategic thinking, culminating in a tense and rewarding final confrontation with the Antagonist, the antique collector.Core Design Goals:Test Player Skills, Dynamic Antagonist Interaction and Environmental Complexity.Final Confrontation with the Antagonist:The final boss battle is not a traditional combat encounter but a stealth showdown where the player must outwit the antagonist and avoid detection while navigating a highly controlled environment.Dynamic Interaction: I designed the final phase to allow players to manipulate the environment to outsmart the collector. For example, trigger alarms to distract guards, and create visual distractions that can mislead the guards.The Antagonist checks various hiding spots and interacts with the environment in a way that keeps players constantly on edge. The player must think several steps ahead, using the environment as a tool to trap the guards or create a safe escape route.

As the Gameplay Designer in our team, my focus was on shaping the gaming experience through mechanics, features, and balancing. In my role, I had a direct impact on the cooperative dynamics by driving discussions on game mechanics, features, and player experience during team meetings. I utilized visual aids on Miro, creating feature maps, gameplay loops, scoring systems, pick-up mechanics, and game stats with detailed descriptions. This visual representation facilitated a shared understanding among team members, fostering effective communication and collaboration.
