Goal :

• Creating a World Level Design close to an open world feeling (we adjusted that to do a Dark Souls like level design)

• Student Project.

​

Constraints :

• Unreal Engine 4

• Level Streaming

• Every level must be attached to other(s).

• Global consistance of the World LD

​

Learning occured :

• Versionning, I was in charge of the whole Git versionning. That meant being there for my teamates for every conflict there was.

• Teaching basic Git behaviour to my teamates.

• Using Unreal for its Level Design features (not much of BSP used)

​

Mistakes were made :

• Not asking all of my teamates to organize their files in Unreal costed me a few hours of cleaning for the final milestone.

• Giving my teamates the confort of knowing I will be there for versionning meant that some relied completly on me as soon as they saw a conflict. Those were not interested in learning Git at all.

• Some Designers worked alone and gave us no news for weeks. Not responding or updating the project. Discord message and mails weren't enough. Not being in a work environment meant we had little means of contacting them.

​

Challenge :

• I had the most area to develop (3), with two of medium size.

• Fairly new to Unreal, specifically in team work.

• Being in charge of our Git, and being the only one understanding a little Git and its versionning was pressuring and a lot of added work.

​

Why did it work well :

• Verry good comunications skills when it mattered the most (merging, versionning issues, milestones).

• Most of us were found of Dark Souls Level Design style.
