Level Art | Dread Anchor

DreadAnchor是我们在VFS温哥华电影学院的毕业作品，最佳毕业作品，现已登录Epic平台。在这个项目中，我作为关卡设计师，关卡美术（地编）和2D艺术家为团队做出了贡献。作为一名关卡设计师，我负责游戏关卡从草图到白盒阶段的搭建，并根据测试者的反馈对游戏关卡进行调整和迭代；我们还分析关卡动线引导，空间，玩家心理反馈曲线，和玩家学习与交互（3Ts）进行设计，测试和优化，迭代关卡十余次，最终完成符合玩家学习和心理的关卡。

作为关卡美术，我负责制作部分资产白膜，在早期阶段（prototype和M1）就将scaleblock资产放入关卡中进行测试；使用Geogen地形工具来辅助UE地形工具，以此建立可信的地形；使用植被工具和3D美术资产（@Dawson Strauss）从大体块逐步细化搭建游戏环境，并尊重游戏玩法区域。
DreadAnchor was our final project at VFS (2025–2026), where I applied everything I learned throughout the year in a full production environment. On this project, I worked as a Level Designer, Level Artist, and 2D Artist. Over the course of six months, our team collaborated to develop and ship the game on the Epic Games Store.

As a Level Designer, I was responsible for building blockouts in Maya and Unreal Engine, iterating on level layouts and encounters alongside other designers, and maintaining a strong moment-to-moment player experience throughout the game.

As a Level Artist, I worked closely with the environment art team to establish effective scale blockouts and support asset creation. I focused on set dressing to build a believable and cohesive environment. During production, I collaborated closely with our Environment Artist, Dawson Strauss to streamline workflows, reduce unnecessary steps, and ensure consistency in both asset quality and overall visual direction.

In addition, I contributed to the creation of several environment art assets.
