More info about my work

Initially, me and the Level Artist working on this level were given a short brief about the main objective and the location where this was supposed to happen.
From there, I worked on the mission design to flesh out the main objective and propose some secondary ones.
In collaboration with the Level Artist all along the production, we worked on the layout of the level, from references gathering to blockout prototyping and then iterating over and over. The mission is made of 4 levels connected together.

One of the main challenge was to keep enough freedom and diversity on a level which is basically a linear bridge and a main objective not offering the classic lethal / non lethal options we usually had.
I was in charge of placing and setting up all the enemies and other challenges like security devices, one of which being the Arc Pylons which were introduced in this mission.
As we did for all missions, this included both a Low Chaos and a High Chaos variation of the level to keep a reactive world based on player choices along the game.

On top of that, I was also responsible for designing the different puzzles encountered in the level (finding the safes combination for example), and placing the different elements like loot, notes, interactive elements, etc...
All the scripting was handled by me for any of these elements as well as the narrative scenes happening on Kaldwin's Bridge.

Although the 2 persons in charge of this level were me and a Level Artist, this mission is of course the result of the collaboration of an entire team.
