Layout and White-box
In-engine Development
Production Review
The white-box had to change because I wasn’t satisfied with the story attached to the map. So, I used the S-curved map. The newer map was easier and faster to render than the first map, which had too high of a poly count. Moving forward with the new map, I did not have to rely on invisible wall barriers. I was able to create natural barriers to prevent the player from going outside the map.
My biggest challenge with this project was figuring out the many different ways to improve gameplay performance. I experimented with lighting, rendering types, occlusion culling, etc., but it still runs poorly on low-end PCs. Hopefully I have more opportunities to experiment with graphics for future games!
