Creating an Unreal Tournament map:

As part of a school assignment, I spent 8 weeks designing and creating an 8-player level for Unreal Tournament. Although I had played a lot of first-person shooters before, UT was not one of them. This meant I started with an extensive research stage to learn the ins and outs of the game.

​

Using this newly gained knowledge I defined a theme, metrics and flow design for my own level, and got to work creating it in the Unreal Tournament Editor (Similar to Unreal Engine). I went through a process of several weeks of play testing, iterating and presenting, until the final delivery. 

​

Tasks included:

• Researched the existing Unreal Tournament game and official maps from Epic Games

• Set up metrics for the level geometry, pickups, and player spawns

• Created design documentation

• Designed and created a whitebox level in Google Sketchup, later moved into the Unreal Tournament editor

• Texturing, set dressing, and lighting the level

• Hosted play tests and iterated on the map
