Project Objective

Create a Lunar / Planet type base, that could be part of a larger open world.

​

With this blockout, the goal was to focus on creating a large space that the players could explore at their own pace, and however they'd see fit.

​

To achieve this I created the base with a circular flow in mind, which means that as the player progresses in whichever direction they choose, the level will organically guide them to the objective, and in the end lead them back where they started, to finish the mission.

 In terms of game mechanics, I created a few, to create a world that doesn't feel stale, and felt alive even before the player was there.

​

With more time, the goal would be to create more interesting situations in the world, and more physical challenges, as currently, the level grazes the line of a walking simulation more than I would've liked, however, my own goal was to focus on the level layout itself, creating a circular flow, and envisioning a "real" base where people would live, instead of creating more functionality and gameplay without having an interesting blockout at the core of the exercise.
