Pre-production
Gathering References
I began the project by gathering reference images of that might inspire the vision for the blockout.
I looked for really good images of military bases and barracks that looked like people worked and lived there.
Sketching Layout
While brainstorming I like to sketch out the layout for my levels. This helps me think of different ideas when it comes to structure and sightlines.
Blockout Process
During my blockout process I like to iterate on my design early that way I can decide what is best for my level.
Level Walkthrough
Introduction
The start of the level is suppose to be slow and explorative.
Adding a vista that the player is immediately shown gives the player a goal.
Puzzle
I wanted to use the bow and arrows as a way to challenge the player with a puzzle.
The player needs to find a different view to shoot the button on the other side of the door.
Traversal
The player will need to platform under the bridge that leads to the compound.
I added triggers that would play sounds of trucks driving over the bridge to increase the intensity of the situation.
Stealth Encounter
For stealth I wanted to give the player multiple paths to taken depending on their playstyle.
This path is the more aggressive path with less cover you need to be quick.
The Goal
Once the player reaches their goal they are faced with the challenge of escaping the compound.
​
I added alarm noises and footsteps to help create more tension.
Conclusion
Once the player gets to the end of the level they get on a helicopter to fly away and end the level.
​
I used a sequencer to set up the helicopter.
