Narrative Details
The player was enjoying a peaceful moment in their space cabin when suddenly, a fellow companion woke them up with a sense of urgency. Without hesitation, the player grabbed their gun and proceeded through the corridor, ready to face whatever danger lay ahead.
Level White Boxing
Initial setup
I start by using the Level Layout to place basic blocks and color-code them for my future reference. Then, I add all the technical assets I have created into the world and see if the pacing and engagement match what I had envisioned in my notebook.
MASS Entitites creation
Although the assets I had for this project were excellent, they were not appropriate for the level I created.
Therefore, I used individual props and converted them into separate entities, replacing the original blocks I had created in the initial phase.
I also modeled some of the props myself.
Finishing Touches
I started decorating my level with props i created using blender.
