Still iterating and refining, especially in the arenas, but it’s been incredibly helpful to see how everything connects!
Would love to hear what you think! 🙌

Finally, I’m also showing part of the paper design phase, along with an early Lego prototype I built to visualize the level in a hands-on way before moving into Unreal. 🗒️🧱
Seeing it like this first really helped me understand verticality and spatial layout before building in the engine.

⚔️ Final combat arena, where players can approach the encounter in three different ways: stealth, direct combat, or a more platforming-oriented route.

First, here’s a top-down view of the map to show the overall structure and main player paths. 🗺️

Then, I’ve included two breakdown shots:
🎯 Final objective, visible early as the first thing the player notices when moving through the level, with careful framing and composition.

501 now!

In the next few weeks, I’ll focus on:
🚗 Completing the prototype of the final car chase sequence!
⚔️ Revisiting combat arenas to improve pacing.
🛠️ Polishing the entire level and preparing it for the final phase.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! 🫂

One of the biggest challenges has been managing space and verticality. It’s something I’ve always wanted to improve, and working on this project has really helped me understand how to make exploration feel more dynamic and readable. Still plenty to refine, but I’m happy with the progress so far! 🏗️

I started by defining the core pillars, gathering references to set the right tone, and creating a paper design to plan the structure. Then I prototyped key gameplay metrics, like jump distances and movement, and built the first blockout, where the level began to take shape. 🧠🧱

Yeah!
