One of the main sections of the game I worked on is the office level, where the player enters a recently abandoned company office and must navigate their way through. In early versions of the game, this section was particularly short and straightforward despite the opportunities presented by a building of this scale. 

​

With permission from the lead developer, I took some time to revamp this section almost completely, introducing new areas and puzzles to prolong this section of the game. This was primarily achieved through the use of the available modular and environment assets within the game project, alongside Blueprints for additional game functionality.

​

In addition to this, having noticed an absence of human presence in the game due to a lack of available assets, one of my additional aims was to fake the presence of a paranoid individual within this office section. As such, through the use of scripted sequences, using Unreal Engine 4's Sequencer, I created various moments to fake the presence of an individual and their interaction upon the world. As the player navigates through the level, they catch glimpses of the individual but is never able to physically meet or interact with them. This was created with the intention of making the player paranoid as they explore, unsure of the mysterious individual's intent.

​

Towards the end of this section, I suggested the idea of having the player avoid a hazard presented by the mysterious individual. The lead developer of the project implemented this dangerous obstacle through the use of rolling explosive barrels which the player would have to avoid. Upon the avoiding the barrels, the player could reach the underground vehicle entrance to escape from the office.
