Eat Lead is a 3rd person cover-based shooter with a strong story. I designed and built the gameplay and interactivity of two levels of the eight. Note that it was designed to be a parody of this genre, and won a VGX award.
My responsibilities on these two levels included:
- Story development and encounter design.
- Building the gray levels in Sketchup and 3D Studio
- Encounter building in engine
- Cinematics
- Level scripting including events and custom features
Primary Level Design
- Office Demonstration Level
- Level 1 – Japanese Restaurant
- Level 8 – Office Building
On each level, I first designed the layout using Sketchup. This was then imported into the Vicious Game Engine as a static, and used as the framework for the environment artists to build the level geometry in detail. This allowed simultaneous art development and gameplay setup and testing.
