Level Design
The Signal - Goose Byte
Hub Level
Cartes
I worked on the game’s main level, from conception through blocking, while overseeing its dressing by the environment team.
​
The idea behind this level was that each area would implicitly represent the levels the player would later explore.
​
This reinforced the narrative by showing that the tower at the center of the level contained the different aspects of the planet.
​
Player's Crash Site Zone
One of the challenges in designing this level was that it had to be easy to navigate on foot, quick to traverse to match the early-game pacing, and large enough to be explored later with a vehicle.
First Level - Scorched Rift
The design and blocking of the game’s first level, Scorched Rift, were completed within a week. As with the main level, I then collaborated with the environment team for the level dressing.
​
This level, made up of dark tunnels and open, simmering caverns, tells the story of a mining expedition gone wrong.

Level's Entrance
Vehicle Gym
One of the first tasks I was assigned when I joined the project was to create a test gym to demonstrate the benefits of vehicle customization.
​
The gym is divided into four zones:
​A zone to test heavy vehicles and their resistance to high temperatures.
The four sections are interconnected so that the player can easily navigate the entire gym.
​​
At a later request, I added a system allowing the player to collect 13 gold coins, marking the completion of each obstacle.
Alien Facility (Cut Content)
The Extraterrestrial Complex was a point of interest in the main level, which was removed for optimization and enemy placement reasons.
​
It was a location where the player could learn more about the presence of another form of life on the planet through environmental clues such as laboratories, storage areas, and other utility rooms.
