Vertex

VERTEX is a 4v4 third-person multiplayer level-design prototype built in Unity.

The map is designed around vertical combat, player movement, cover, multiple routes, and positional decision-making.

Players can move between different elevations, use environmental cover, traverse through different routes, and use elevated positions to gain tactical advantages during combat.

Note: This is currently a level-design blockout/prototype. The focus is on spatial design, player flow, combat spaces, and multiplayer readability rather than final art, enemy AI, or complete multiplayer implementation.

🧠 Design Intent

Create a multiplayer map that encourages constant movement and repositioning

Give players meaningful choices between high ground, low ground, and alternate routes

Create opportunities for flanking and counter-flanking

Use cover to break long sightlines and create safer movement
