Solo Project| Unreal engine 5.8 (AGLS)
A wide-linear abandoned monastery level focused on cinematic pacing, vertical progression, environmental storytelling, and third-person combat. Players ascend through layered courtyards and traversal encounters toward a cathedral, using landmarks, modular architecture, and cover-driven gameplay to deliver an Uncharted-inspired finale.
Iterations
First reveal
Pass 1: was too narrow
Pass 2: diminished the reveal
pass 3: fixed those problems
Final Encounter
Pass 1: was too simple
Pass 2: lacked elevations and a prominent path
Pass 3: was rectilinear and narrow
Pass 4: fixed those problems
Advanced Level Design Methods
Revealing Goals
This initial reveal is designed so that player can see all POI they must reach. Leading Lines are key to achieve this

Radically Non Linear
The Illusion of Player Choice. Creating a path for the player that will ultimately reach the same goal.
