This level design was created to explore different lighting techniques to convey direction and ultimately narrative. I tailored the angle of the custom moon I created and changed various sky shades to create a clear sense of direction in an otherwise dark level. I took this concept another step further when I converted the level to using only stars and a black sky. I created wide ranged point lights that mimicked the color of a dawn, cloudy sky (dark, pale blue type of color) and placed them within the tree foliage to very delicately light an alternate path. The campfire in this scenario was the only clear destination in the level, allowing both the fire and point lights to create a definitive path through the forest. The level was developed using the landscape tool and multiple foliage assets that were modified to suit the nature of this design. This was my first attempt at landscape development.
