Game: Unreal Tournament 3

Description: While playing Unreal Tournament 3, I noticed several levels had trains. These trains do not affect the gameplay. I wanted to create a map where trains were an integral part of the gameplay. Drawing heavy inspiration from the Well map from Team Fortress 2, I decided to build a small death match map. The trains would occasional come charging through the area killing any players that were on the tracks. Overall, I succeeded in building a map that mirrors the fun of the Well map while still tying in the core gameplay elements that make Unreal Tournament 3’s death match mode exhilarating.

Game: Dawn of War II
Responsibilities:
- Develop three balanced mulitplayer maps.
- Make each map unique both in visuals and gameplay.
- Place all props, textures and effects.
- Develop necessary documentation.
- Revise and redesign areas based off playtesting.
Description: My goal for these maps is to create environments that are both stunning to look at and fun to play. I drew most of my environmental inspiration from a variety of real world locales like The Painted Desert in Arizona, the Amazon River and Chichen Itza. Each map varies greatly in gameplay as well. The Painted Desert’s focus is to capture and hold a desert stronghold. Murder Hill’s focus is to provide a large open area to fight over that also features a contrasting narrow jungle path. Promised Land’s focus is to create interesting combat opportunities while fighting over a river.

Description: Bloody Mary is a co-op and versus map where the players make their way through a zombie infested college. The goal of this project is to create a map that matches or beats the quality of the existing Left 4 Dead maps. Since Left 4 Dead maps are highly replayable, a tremendous amount of effort was spent on creating events that are both dynamic and interesting. From the use of elusive mini events, shocking panic events and the bewitching finale, Bloody Mary is an exhilarating experience for novice and veteran players alike.
