Essa and the Cult of the Dark Sun
Essa and the Cult of the Dark Sun puts you in the shoes of Esss, a thief who is robbing tombs in order to acquire money for her village. Essa and the Cult of the Dark Sun is a top-down isometric hack-and-slash game intended for PC.
This game was designed as a part of a level design class. It was developed by three people, each designing one level.
Here is the final game design document prepared for the class, each section is marked for who was responsible for that section.
The class this project was made for focused on level design, and building levels in Unity using ProBuilder.
The level I designed was intended to be the first level of the game. As such, it was a straight froward map, with few detours so the player would not get lost.
The level also contained few enemies, and few traps, and used these as introductions to the various elements of the game.
The process for designing this level involved developing a number of base tiles, that could be put together to make different maps and filled with game play elements to demonstrate progression.
To the right, are the level pieces. These were designed around having a variety of floor layouts and sizes.
