Visual Effects Animator:
Created fun and sometimes silly animations that would affect the level the player is currently on. Some would be easter eggs for the super fans of the Arthur franchise
Roles
The first few levels represented the classrooms that young wizards would sit in. The general theme was blue, with books and scrolls lying around on school desks.

Classroom Levels
The next few levels were designed to feel like greenhouse/botany rooms. This area included some gardening tools, along with colorful flowers and unusual-looking plants with vines growing around the green bricks.

Botany Levels
A wizarding school isn’t complete without some spooky abandoned hallways! The rooms were littered with faded books, forgotten suitcases, and old trunks. There were tattered banners and cobwebs with spiders dangling from the ceiling.

Abandoned Levels
The players encountered the boss, Lord Moldywart, in his tower as the final level. It's Moldywarts domain, with the most dangerous obstacles that the player needs to evade. The tower had a red hue with Moldywarts banners hanging. The stolen books littered the level.
