Current Project
After my study abroad trip to Japan this summer, I was inspired to design a level based on the incredible mountainous locations of Koyasan and Mt. Inari.
This project was started to enhance my level designing abilities under the mentorship of a level designer in the industry. I have already gained so much from this experience, making me feel more equipped to pursue this role in the future.
Paper-Mapping
I tried a new recommended way of paper-mapping at the beginning of this project. All of my past projects have been digitally paper-mapped in painfully minimal detail, but this time I set aside a whole notebook to start putting my maps on paper.
My mentor was able to instill the necessity of a descriptive paper map. It absolutely changed my perspective on how I should utilize them. Even my final map was not detailed enough as I had to make many changes while my level was brought to life in-engine.
