Challenges

My take on this project was that it would be my last contribution to the Max Payne universe, and for that single level to stand on its own, I wanted to make it a proper cinematic experience. I worked on making the cut-scenes as professional as possible to give it a stylish look and feel.

Developing a deep story in a single level would be tricky, so it's rough around the edges. But I believe the visual quality of the level, seconded by my attempt at presenting the otherwise shallow story in a cool way, provides a short but quite enjoyable gaming experience.

Exact role

I started off from the level geometry alone and scripted it, imagined a story around it and wrote the dialogues, created an introduction level, did all the coding and modifications necessary to make it feel as I wanted it to, and designed all the artwork.
