Back in December of 2020 I participated in a week long level jam to create a level for the game “Dusk”. Dusk is a typical boomer shooter inspired by games like “DOOM”, “Quake”, and “Duke Nukem 3D”. This was an interesting experience where I had one week to learn new tools and how to mod games in order to create a level. I wanted to keep this a simple and relatively short experience for players. To do that I broke the level down in to 3 sections, a linear section in the start with a couple secrets to reward curious players, and open section ended section where players could choose what to explore first while they look for keys to unlock doors, and a final arena section with a big fight to cap off the level. I feel like there’s a lot to improve looking back at this level now but it was met with positive reviews and I’m proud of what I could do in a short time. Check out the video here: Duck Level Jam
