Project Description

SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a character-switching 3D action-adventure where players seamlessly swap between SpongeBob and Patrick to overcome platforming challenges and puzzles. Building on The Cosmic Shake, the game features tighter 3C design, more layered ability mechanics, and improved responsiveness. The result is a more fluid and dynamic experience that deepens both gameplay and character expression.

My Contribution

At Purple Lamp, I work as a Game Designer on SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, published by THQ Nordic.

My tasks on this project included:
  • Designing and prototyping core gameplay systems such as abilities, bosses, and 3Cs (character, camera, controls)
  • Creating prototypes using Blueprint (Unreal Engine) to quickly test and communicate gameplay ideas
  • Implementing gameplay logic and tuning features directly in-engine for designers and programmers
  • Contributing to cross-department workshops and documentation to align design vision and implementation
  • Owning boss encounters from concept to implementation in close collaboration with other departments
  • Supporting UI design during production and helping define structure and functionality
