Project Analysis
I had the opportunity to work on Phantom Hysteria alongside the lead level designer to help create "The Bishop Manor"!
I was able to gain experience working in larger groups and understanding the full level creation pipeline, from concept to final level. I also worked to ensure the blockout was modular to help reduce work-load on environmental artists. The lead level designer was there to help guide me through the blockout process and together we were able to create a fun, tense interactive level players would be running though in the hunt for the phantoms!

DESIGN DISCUSSION
BLOCKOUT
Working with the lead level designer I used reference images of old southern antebellum houses to construct the manors blockout using BSP meshes. I aimed to create a tense claustrophobic maze where players would turn sharp corners adding memorable tense moments.
LARGER PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT
While in a larger development group I learnt to relinquish creative control over to other talented designers and artists. Understanding my role in the larger group was essential to the timely development of this map. I took feedback and critique of the level from other designers and used it to construct a great experience for players alongside the lead level designer!
Working on this project was a great opportunity. I expanded my skillset in creating tense PvE horror experiences and working in a larger development pipeline.
