Happy Halloween! We're celebrating with a final look at Crisis of DreamCell's demo development! We're happy to show the process of creating levels and can't wait to show more of the full game in the future! #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine
Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level at its earliest state. This level has very little lighting and uses blockout for everything including doors. Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level further in development with better lighting and replaced objects closer to the final look. Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level as it is in the demo. This is the final look for the game.

Take another look at the design process for Crisis of DreamCell's levels! This level had a very different look early on, but when redesigning it for the demo we wanted to keep the same maze like feel! #screenshotsaturday #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine
The earliest version of the Containment Gas Leak level, having a very maze like design with a placeholder elevator, ui, and enemies. The start of the redesign for the Containment Gas Leak level, this time taking a very darker tone with less visibility. The third iteration of the Containment Gas Leak level, with more lights showing more of the scene. Still in a blockout stage. The final version of the Containment Gas Leak level in the demo.

Crisis of DreamCell's levels take on different iterations when designing and testing, take a look at the hospital wing at different stages in development. Hope you enjoy this look into the level design process! #screenshotsaturday #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine
Crisis of DreamCell's Hospital Wing level at its earliest design with unused UI, enemy, and level design. Crisis of DreamCell's Hospital Wing level at a later state in development with unused UI and enemy. Crisis of DreamCell's Hospital Wing level at a much later near finished stage in development. Crisis of DreamCell's Hospital Wing level at its final stage in development.

A man in the desert with a giant scorpion approaching behind him. Kratos in the woods talking to mimir, asking him a very important question. A man on stage of a talent show as the two judges stop him mid performance. A goat in a city wielding a gun.
