Final level

I was inspired by Lund C, a real train station, while creating my first blockout. It was then iterated upon based on playtest feedback and to accommodate the game's vision and pacing.

Reflections

Working with a third-person camera in an indoor environment meant that precise metrics had to be followed when designing levels. We thoroughly studied our reference game, Alan Wake 2, while determining environment and player metrics to ensure that it felt good to move around the levels. For this project, the team decided that we wanted seamless transitions between each level, which meant that we, the level designers, had to communicate and plan early on how that would look. Since the game is set in an underground train station, we planned out the holistic design and environment, which ensured that the levels wouldn't be redundant in size and layout. We also planned how the levels would grow in difficulty by progressively introducing new abilities and enemies.
