Design process

Some time ago, somewhere between playing Dishonored and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, I came up with the idea that it would be cool to create a level for a third-person shooter with stealth elements. I wanted the level to be set in a real location, but reworked according to my own preferences. I’ve been fascinated by Italy for many years, and I fell in love with Venice a long time ago, so I decided to set the level in the Venetian Arsenal.

I started gathering references in PureRef, and the more I had, the clearer the vision of how the level should look became in my mind. Then I sketched out an initial layout and moved on to blocking out the level. To save time on AI, animations, and all the logic, I used AGLS by JakubW.

I wanted the level to be divided into two distinct stages: reaching the target by one route and escaping through another. That’s why I came up with the idea that the player’s task would be to open the gates of the Arsenal, so that after jumping to the next tower, the player would have no possibility of going back.

I also wanted to push the player toward exploration in the first part, so they couldn’t just take the simplest path by shooting all the enemies. That’s why I limited the amount of ammo and placed it around the level in such a way that it had to be searched for.

You can find the full playthrough of the level in the link below.
