The Lost Puzzle

Solo Project| Unreal Engine| Third Person Puzzle Game

A simple Puzzle game, inspired by AAA titles like Uncharted and the God of War game series. I made this project to showcase both my technical and level design abilities.

Level Design Process

Speedrun of creating a Level using Unreal engine modelling tool

Speedrun of creating a puzzle for the Bath section

Level Sections

Tutorial section
Complex puzzles
multiple floor puzzles
Grand sections

Starting with the basic elements and proggresively introducing the secondary elements, ensuring the player understood the role of those elements.

I also made sure had breaks between puzzles so icreated a grand section that they can just walk and enjoy the view

Level Blockout and Layout

The process
Static Meshes
Assets

I mostly used Unreals, cubes but i also modeled certain Meshes to help me create the room i want

Level Composition and Guidance

Guided lighting
Pathway
Composition layers

As a puzzle game i could not givethe answer directly to player, so lighting played a major role helping players to find the answer.

Good signifiers to to make the elements prominent "pop out effect"

Sub Levels and Level Streaming

Organised folders
Level stream volumes

As Most of my puzzle elements required event tick node to function having them all at once will lead to memory loss, so i used Unreals Level streaming tool to solve this problem.

I also organise my elements in folders to have clean workspace and readable hierarchy
