Niels Derderian
Junior Technical Designer
Welcome to my portfolio, you'll find my best projects!
I am looking for a position where I can combine my technical skills and my game design knowledge in a team project.
Looking for mainly a Technical Design opportunity, I also have a generalist profile: I like to touch to everything in a project.

About meContact meDevil Worship Hotel
1st Year School Project
First Year Game Project with a team of 3 Game Designer & 1 Second Year Programmer.
We had to create a game with a gameplay kit made by the programmer: we went for an adventure horror game with stealth abilities for the player and puzzle resolution to get door keys.
- Duration: 3 month (April - June 2023)
- Role(s): Level Design, 3D Art
- Team Size: 4 (3 Game Designer, 1 Programmer)
- Engine & Platform: Unreal Engine 5.1, Windows
Game Overview
In Devil Worship Hotel you play a paranormal reporter that is trapped inside a cursed hotel and hunted by a demonic cultist. Through puzzle, hiding and evading the monster, the player must find a way out.
My Contribution
- Communicating with the 2nd Year Programmer Student
- Updating the programmer asset from 5.0.3 to 5.1 (Project & Enhanced Inputs)
- Making modular 3D assets (Walls, Floor, Ceiling) with seamless textures
- Set Dressing & Lighting with Lumen
- Level Design Blockout, Integration & Document (Research, Diagram, Map)
Tool I used:
I've opted for a modular workflow for the environment as it was the best solution to generate quickly a big level for our game as we had a major project rework from scratch during the 3 month, leaving us 1 month to restart and complete the project.
The Level Design is linear with a few spaces that contains obstacles, and at least 2 exit ways to allow the player to never be trapped when the monster is chasing him.
