Overview

Narrative/Setting: Set in the harsh deserts of Dune Awakening, this mission tasks the player with locating and recovering valuable resources stolen from Harkonnen soldiers by a bandit faction. The level combines exploration and resource-driven objectives with tactical combat against entrenched enemies in a makeshift desert stronghold. Environmental hazards such as open dunes, shifting cover, and the looming threat of sandworms reinforce tension and encourage thoughtful player movement and planning.

Requirements/Constraints: This is a small-sized level exploring resource-driven missions in the Dune Awakening universe. It is set in a third-person POV with core mechanics such as traversal across desert terrain, light stealth, cover-based shooting, and melee combat. Environmental hazards like open dunes and the threat of sandworms shape player movement, while the objective centers on infiltrating a bandit outpost to recover stolen Harkonnen supplies.

Goals & Restrictions

My goals with this project were to:

  1. Learn more about Open-World Level Design.

  2. Practicing, honing and sementing my level design pipeline.

  3. Design a level that would naturally slide into the Dune Universe.

  4. Create a playable level using a character controller pack for more in-depth and heavier prototyping experience.
