This was a project to test my ability of creating an entire level from story concept through blockout and even systems from a single concept image.

 

The greatest challenge for me was maintaining and communicating the horror and dark atmosphere of the level. Since this was meant to be a level blockout and not a fully realized level I needed to work with a small pool of assets but to their utmost effectiveness. I accomplished this with lighting and small soundbites for the various enemies the player would encounter. The gameplay also played a large role in conveying the horror atmosphere, by having the player instantly killed by monsters that would jump out of unconventional areas I was able to communicate simple survival horror mechanics that can later be implemented into my mission structure and in the level design.
