Temple of Kaja

Apr 2017 - May 2017

This was my introductory 3D level design project. Utilizing spatial archetypes and traditional composition techniques, I designed a snowy mountain top level. The player adventures through the level, starting at their ice-cave camp all the way to the temple at the top. They can explore the level, uncovering mysterious globes and collecting keys to unlock magical gates. 

Temple of Kaja was a half-semester independent project, using Unity3D and Maya. The audio utilized Sonniss GDC packs and I edited them in Audacity.
