Blockout

I did the initial blockout of the level in 3ds Max and then imported it in Unreal Engine.

One after another, sections of the level were progressively replaced as the project was moving forward and new 3D models were being produced.

Journey

The level is a thrilling chase sequence featuring platforming elements.

Verticality

The level has multiple height elevations. The player progressively dives deeper and deeper in the level.

Variety

The player gets vertigo jumping from spaceship to spaceship miles above the ground and then claustrophobic inside the burning tunnel of the industrial waste incinerator. The level contains multiple obstacles and hazards.

Obstacle course

This chase scene features a wide array of obstacles to avoid. The player encounters small obstacles to jump over and bigger obstacles to vault over. Timing is crucial to cross hazards such as the giant rotating fans and fire traps.

Fugitive

The player is pursued by a group of mercenaries throughout the level. Even though the enemies are behind the player, he is constantly reminded of their presence as they catch up to him, find shortcuts to cut him off and try to ambush him.
