Behind the Design

These maps were designed as part of a school project. We were tasked to choose 10 games and create maps for each one. The maps below are 4 of the more interesting ones, showcasing a variety of different maps and the expected player path.

One of the more challenging parts of the project was shifting from genre to genre and having the level reflect that. For instance, the Spyro the Dragon map wraps in on itself to encourage exploration and appreciate the environment. The player can see parts of the map from the start at different elevations. In contrast, the Left 4 Dead 2 map is chaotic. There are spaces with twists and turns as well as large areas to allow players to effectively fight hordes or the Tank.
