Project Overview
Facility is a 4v4 multiplayer map designed for Lyra, a game template for Unreal Engine 5, fully realized (including documentation) within a tight 3-week production window as part of a academic exercise at Objectif 3D.
Key Contributions
-
Learning Multiplayer Design : To meet the project requirements, I researched multiplayer map design by analyzing classics like Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and Call of Duty. These studies informed our layout’s three-lane structure, spawn safety protocols, and high-traffic zone positioning blending proven formulas with our unique mechanics.
-
Experience with new organizational tools : This project was a defining point for the future; I tested production tools such as Obsidian, TeamHood, and Notion to see which I felt most comfortable with.
Process
The writing
I write to approach the level design literally, which helps me restructure my thoughts and constraints :
-
GOALS – What am I trying to achieve, why, and how?
-
ELEMENTS – What do I have at my disposal?
-
GAMEPLAY BEATS – What do I want the player to feel?
-
QUESTIONS – Questions I have and should answer later.
-
SEQUENCES – Things I’d like to include in the level.
Presentation
For our level design presentation, I developed a slide deck detailing the LD vision and references, proposing a three-lane urban layout inspired by competitive maps like Call of Duty Maps.
Post Mortem
This exercise proved foundational to my education—not only did I master organizational tools like Obsidian, Notion, and Teamhood to streamline production, but I also embraced iterative design as a core philosophy. Through relentless refinement, I transformed initial level blockouts into polished gameplay experiences, proving that repetition isn’t redundancy.
