Griffins Hideaway
The design challenge of Griffin’s Hideaway was to create a unique experience that didn’t include combat. To this end, I developed a prototype for the trap feature, including explosive, poison, and suspensor variations. My role included:
- Gray level design
- Design of the ancient architecture pieces
- Trap mechanic prototype
- Locating and placing the cave in the world, including the island approach
- Coordination with environment art, lighting, and vfx teams
- Narrative propping including the abandoned camp
- All level setup, including needed volumes and other mechanics
- Design of the pole lamps to help reduce the need for propping around lights
