02 / CREATION

FROM IDEA TO PLAYABLE MAP

Each experience started from a different gameplay concept. The process involved building environments, defining rules, configuring the required systems, and testing each map to refine how it worked.

01
Concept:Defining the type of experience and the core rules of each map.
02
Building:Creating the environment, placing elements, and configuring the playable space.
03
Configuration:Implementing rules, match systems, and progression logic.
04
Testing:Checking functionality and making adjustments before publishing.

03 / MAPS

THREE GAMEPLAY CONCEPTS

Each map explores a different area: environment building, round logic, and competitive flow. All three were completed and published in Fortnite.

01COURSE · LEVEL DESIGN

IMPOSSIBLE ATV TRIALS

Impossible ATV Trials, course and level design

Skill-based course built around the ATV, featuring obstacles, checkpoints, vehicle respawn, and a timer. Reaching the end records the run time and can update the player's best result.

  • CHECKPOINTSTrack progression throughout the course.
  • TIMERRecords the run time until the finish.
  • ATV RESPAWNWhen the vehicle falls off the map, it is repositioned so the attempt can continue.
02SURVIVAL · MATCHES

CHÃO É LAVA

Chão é Lava, survival map in Fortnite

After waiting in the lobby, players are sent to a randomly selected environment and must reach higher ground before the lava begins to rise. Players who survive until the end receive coins before returning to the lobby for a new round.

  • RANDOM MAPSThe environment changes between matches.
  • LAVARising lava creates the main survival condition.
  • COINSPlayers who survive until the end receive coins that can be used in the lobby.
  • MATCH LOOPAt the end, players return to the lobby and the sequence can begin again.
03COMPETITIVE · TEAMS

BOX ZONE WARS

Box Zone Wars, competitive mode in Fortnite

Competitive experience combining Box Fight and Zone Wars in the same sequence. Players select their teams in the lobby, compete through both stages, and earn points for victories before the cycle restarts.

  • TEAMSSelected before the matches begin.
  • TWO MODESBox Fight and Zone Wars are part of the same cycle.
  • SCORINGEach stage awards one point to the winning team.
  • REVIVE & RESETPlayers are restored between stages and return to the lobby at the end.
04 / GAMEPLAY & LOGIC

05 / TESTING & PUBLISHING

FROM PLAYTESTING TO PUBLISHING

Each map was tested to verify rules, respawns, progression, and match flow. After adjustments, all three experiences were published in Fortnite.

01
Playtests:Testing mechanics and match behavior before publishing.
02
Adjustments:Corrections to rules, progression, respawns, and elements that interfered with the experience.
03
Publishing:Finalization and publishing of all three experiences for play in Fortnite.

06 / KEY LEARNINGS

BUILDING FOR THE PLAYER

Working with different experiences showed how environment, rules, and match flow need to work together to turn an idea into something playable and understandable.

01
Level Design:

The environment can become a central part of the mechanic itself, as in the course developed for the ATV.

02
Match Logic:

Round-based experiences require states, conditions, and transitions to behave predictably.

03
Testing:

Repeated testing helps reveal problems that may not appear during the initial build.
