For Level Design we used ProCore’s ProBuilder Prototyping Tool, along with its additional plugins provided such as PolyBrush and ProGrids within the Unity Game Engine. The process for creating the level in CMT was done with Greyboxing the level first, then using the rapid prototyping methodology to test the layout to see what felt right for the player experience.

To test the level design, and game mechanics we implemented the idea of having AI bots in the world where we can see how quickly the player would get to them and whether there were any boundaries that the player had to observe before progressing. We based the level layout based off of one of our artist's concepts. Early prototyping allowed us to quickly experiment and test the behaviors of game mechanics and playability within the games mechanics for the character controller, and making sure we can provide collision detections properly with our player attack functions. Flow for the level design was thought for fast pacing, and dense environment structure. We wanted to make sure players have enough room to make decisions and have agency for the relative positions of building placements and possibility space.
