This thesis investigates how optimization techniques and game theory can be applied within the design of a self-developed 3D platformer/third-person shooter action-adventure game. After outlining the background of related games, genres, and academic literature, the development process of the game was described in detail, from asset creation and workflows to Unity-based implementation. The corecontribution of this study lies in the application of game-theoretic principles to level design, focusing on the analysis of player objectives and resource allocation. A case study illustrated how concepts like payoff structures can guide design choices. The evaluation showed that while the models provide useful insights, they remain theoretical tools rather than validated predictions. Nevertheless, this project contributes to the discussion of how academic principles from game theory and optimization can inform creative development and provides a foundation for future research and empirical testing.
