Process Journal
For a more in-depth explanation on my design process, I created a wiki on my GitHub repository that journals my progress as I made my map:
My process
Designed layouts suited for a single player FPS map.
Created walkthroughs for areas in my map.
Created layout blockouts and iterated based on player feedback.
Created secret areas for players to find.
Created puzzle areas to enhance gameplay and player's experience.
Added textures and lighting in order to create the atmosphere and fit the theme I was going for.
