#Blocktober Turbine (UE4,Doom 2016)
The player needs to power a tram terminal on the surface of Mars by aligning the three wind turbines (high/mid/low).
This level work no matter which turbine you decide to approach first and the layout/enemy variety creates a lot of movement/flow for.

I’ve been working on a third-person action level inspired by Uncharted and Tomb Raider, focusing on platforming and level scripting. 🧭🎮

Man, looking at this again...it's such a bummer that they canned this version and turned it into a regular action game. Anyone know what happened behind the scenes here?

For those doing the #blocktober challenge, please post videos instead of those pesky screenshots with a bunch of lines.
The crowd want to see the level being played not the guiding lines!

I made a Level Designer Starter Pack, so will be easier to find, share and get found as a LD in bluesky (and also makes your feed really blocky as a side effect).
If you want to join just post at least one (1) unit of Blockout (as tribute) and ask!

To celebrate #Blocktober here’s a side project I worked on not too long ago! Not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but had a blast making it :) I also love experimenting with new tools for side projects, for this one I used @maxpears.bsky.social LD-KIT and really enjoyed working with it!
