May 2012 – June 2012
Level Design II Team Project.
Producer.
Lead Level Designer.
This was the first time Full Sail students were placed into groups to work with the Unreal Development Kit. Our team was to develop a few different types of encounters for the player to experience.
This was a fun project to work on but it wasn’t without its challenges. As online students working on group projects we’ve learned from first hand experience that it is important to plan and communicate with everyone on the team. It’s also important to set up and respect boundaries of specific roles. We also learned it is important to set up proper conventions for streaming levels. Had we set up our streaming levels in a more traditional way we could have avoided some problems that arose during development.
