This is Space Base, a level designed for Rocket Racing in Fortnite!
Summary of my project:
The level was created for my Experimental Level Design Module, and was one of two levels I designed for this module. It was created in the span of 4 weeks.
My goal for designing this level was to get experience designing for an unconventional genre and control system. This was a game genre that I was entirely unfamiliar with, having never designed a level for a racing game before, and I was excited by the challenge that came with it!
I based the stage off of arcade racers and Mario Kart maps such as Mount Wario, racers that broke away from the conventional 3 lap structure. What I created was a 1 lap stage with multiple distinct areas, taking care that the level's structure kept driving fresh and engaging.
I created this project using Unreal Editor for Fortnite, with lighter documentation that I made for myself in Miro.
I especially enjoyed observing people's playtests of the game, as people of varying degrees of racing game skill were each able to forge their own way through.
