This was a school assignment in my second year of the Game Design program of a greybox level inspired by the Lord of the Rings Moria sequence. The designers were challenged with making an Unreal Tournament map inspired by 1 of 4 well known pop culture shows/movies. This project was my first attempt at making a level for a FPS multiplayer game.
​
While concepting the map's features when making the LDD, I identified the most recognizable parts of the Moria sequence and combined them into one space to have the level be inspired and not copy. I also had to find a balance between making the space resemble the inspiration while also making it playable. Being a FPS, keeping things like metrics, sightlines, and consumable/weapon pickup locations in mind presented a new challenge and learning experience from making this level.
