My Contributions

Level Designer

It was my job to use provided assets to recreate the entirety of the city, including the buildings, subway system, road systems, and clutter. I was also in charge of pacing the gameplay, and directing the player towards the temple.

Design Process

Dimensions being taken from a map provided in the asset pack.

The first step in designing the environment was finding the right asset pack to use. The point of this game was to focus more on aspects of level design, so it allowed me to focus purely on pathways, vista points, landmarks, and overall atmosphere without having to worry about asset creation.

Once we found some reliable asset packs (which I have linked at the bottom of this page), we began analyzing the assets and figuring out different measurements of modular assets, ranging from roads, to pavements, and buildings themselves.

This meant that when creating the greybox for the environment, I was able to accurately plan out where everything would be. This led to a smooth transition from placeholder assets to actual assets, with minimal change.
