Challenges

This was the first open-ended level I worked on, and it soon proved to need a completely different mindset to the scripted levels I had been doing thus far. If the playable area is so large and the locations so varied, it's because I wanted to experience all the design difficulties this type of project involves. It also had to accomodate multiple gameplay styles such as stealh, ranged or close-combat.

It was quite an undertaking as I had to model and texture all of the needed buildings and structures to give it the chinese look that I was aiming for. While the resulting models aren't fully convincing, it helps the level differentiate itself from the tropical island setting so commonly seen in Crysis.

Exact role

I imagined and developed the whole project, and am the author of all the new content, except for the tower model (excluding the platforms around it) which was done by Sayantan Biswas, as well as the entrance gate, shrines and the main temple's towers, which were part of a model package.
