Level Design

Process - Paper Work

The 1st phase was paper work, then I transferred and clarified it on a 2D numeric map with a document exposing my intentions and the flow of the level, with visual references.

Process - Block Out

Secondly i blocked out with simple geometry to find scale and test player movement.

Process - Modules

After that, I replaced the blockout with modules to make the level clearer and more readable.
