I was the level owner of the Jungle, and the E3 demo set in the same level. My responsibilities included:
- Blocked out the original "hub" setup for the game
- Supported other level designers with their mission, most notably Pod and Spaceship
- Initial research into the area, background and gameplay possibilities
- Creating and maintaining (level-) documentation
- Blockout of the space using CryEngine Designer
- From receiving the mission to handoff: whitebox layout, grip placements, scripting, event scripting, camera adjustments, collision, dialog implementation, optimization and adjusting pace or difficulty where needed.
- "Beehive" prototype and finalization
- Basic set dressing
- Iterating on internal and external feedback
- Quality Assurance on my own work
- Bugfixing
