Crystal Soul is a 3rd person exploration game where the player impersonates a crystal ball able to solve puzzles inside a mysterious forest.
A one-month project for Accademia Italiana dei Videogiochi, combining game design, narrative design, level design, and programming. I work mainly on Level Design.
Description:
I have taken care of:
-
Landscape painting and sculpting with the aim of giving verticality to the map developing terraces on which to create different biomes laterally
Working process: Delivered a blockout of the entire map
Macro - layout:
-
Environments and props of the spectral lake area. As this area contains a puzzle platform, I thought it was the most time consuming area due to the tests, the golden path and the precise positioning of the assets so I started from this
Working process:
-
Started from the perimeter of the lake using sculpting and painting
-
Placed wood golden path
-
Key collection zone at the end of the wood platforming
-
Added small and big props into the lake to make it look like a "scruffy lake"
-
Added foliage
-
Worked on all the material including optimization of them
-
Spawn temple environments
Working process:
-
Started the enrichment and spawn zone
-
Added a few arches at the top to make it look like the roof had fallen in
-
Surface manipulation to give the feeling of an abandoned place with grass on the rocks
-
Added foliage all around the map
Working process:
-
Decided the type and quantity of the foliage depending on the zone
-
Locate the enviroments in order to get the more usefull focal point
Process:
-
Placed the assets in order to get the most usefull focal points
