As a Level Designer on 007 Legends it was my responsibility to take ownership of four of the ten Challenge levels and develop them to a finished and polished level of quality for the final game.

The games 'Challenges' are a selection of levels in which the player reprises the role of Bond or one of five iconic Bond characters to play through combat or stealth based scenarios. The emphasis of these levels is that they are score based and therefore intended to be replayed.

My key responsibilities for these levels were:

• Designing stealth and combat specific level designs for high-score focused gameplay modes

• Working within the strict limitations imposed by re-purposing singleplayer level art for use as a base for new gameplay designs

• Communicating with the singleplayer designers changes to layouts that would benefit the Challenge levels

• Providing feedback and design insight to help hone the designs of the Challenges gameplay modes

• Triggering/scripting combat and stealth encounters using in-house tools and LUA scripts

• Creating first pass animations using in-house tools, scripting with LUA and building nav meshes with Maya

• Working closely with multiple disciplines and departments to develop and implement assets and functionality for use in my levels

• Working closely with other Designers and the Producers to ensure design consistency across my and the rest of the Challenge levels

• Production and maintenance of level walk through documentation

• Mentoring and guiding less experienced designers with their Challenge levels and the tools

• Maintenance, balancing, tweaking, optimizing and bug fixing of levels

Disclaimer: All of these levels already had general layouts, it was my task to repurpose singleplayer art for use in the Challenge levels, with that in mind, I do not claim that the original art layouts are of my own design, other designers/artists designed these.
