My Work / WIP

Reminder all is subject to change, all layout design, set dressing and lighting was done by me to emphasise the feel I want the level to achieve so the Artists can later touch it all up.

Our current Demo (as shown above) features our map "Warlock", a classic from Halo 2 which I blocked out initially as a 'testing' arena for the AI / other gameplay elements. One of which being the unique flood variant we have currently named the 'Scrag'.

Excited to showcase more of my blockouts when I can but here is a little snippet of my current work since joining the team! 

Due to the nature of having dynamically generated procedural levels, I focussed on this mainly serving as a "middle" room to allow 4 different unique pathways for the Player to go from here given the generation seed.

1) Central Door

2) Left Side Door

3) Right Side Door

4) Gravity Lift 

Additionally this room I wanted to feel "Grand" giving the Player the idea there is so much more to this world / environment whilst also leaning into the horror vibe of making them feel "small, isolated and cold" .This was also done through my later iterations with lighting and our beautifully custom made dense "flood" fog to really suffocate the Player.
