Yo, I have a map in this, go play!

[Map-Center @Q2MapCenter]

Featuring nine new maps, a hub level and pre-rendered cutscenes. We hope you enjoy Map-Center’s Quake 2 Sewer Jam Volume 1. Get it here: https://t.co/sus1A0ucSq

Another #blocktober means another project to show off. I participated in @Q2MapCenter's Sewer Jam! I really enjoyed exploring the changing of water levels with this. If you'd like to try the pack, here's a link: https://t.co/8atrOHtpUG 1/3

It's #Blocktober once again! Here are a few shots of a level I made for a game mechanic jam my team put together for a project I'm working on.

The goal was to see how far we could take our movement mechanics while the player is being chased throughout the level.

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Starting to learn hand painted texturing using substance painter and so far it's been fun. This is just a taste of what I hope to show soon!

I've always been more on the technical side but sometimes it's really nice to do some art.

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Well it's time to hedge some bets.

The work continues.

It's official, I cannot be stopped from graduating this semester. The search begins.

Finishing #Blocktober with this final arena. During my last arena, I experimented with slopes before removing them. This time I wanted to create an arena where most of it was on a slope. My main thought is what would happen if we gave directional movement abilities more power?

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Back to making something more balanced. This layout went through an entire overhaul between last Wednesday and now. Taking place in a giant dragon skull, I really wanted to use parts of the skull to build out the geometry of the arena. #Blocktober

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

For this arena, I started with balance in mind but then I ended up with this. I was interested in adding experimental things like a lip around the pillars that melee would have to jump up, and a side garden to make the arena asymmetrical. Sorry Melee😏 #Blocktober

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Round 2 of my #Blocktober PvP Arena studies. I went with a rhombus shaped arena this time along with two raised platforms rather than a single one. This is also my first experiment with having accessible areas by the spawn rooms rather than just dumping the players out.

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Recently, I've been studying MMO PvP arena designs. This is the first of 5 layouts I whipped together based on the research I did. My main focus for this design was creating something more neutral in bias between Ranged/Melee and arena shape theory. #Blocktober

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

This #Blocktober I'm focusing on MMO level design! Here are a few shots of my POI, Titan Falls. The quest to go along with this has the player solving puzzles, activating 3 towers, and revealing a secret. The start of an archaeological adventure.

My VR game I was making for my senior project has wrapped up so here's a post about my thoughts and process for making Cavalry's LF-19! #leveldesign #VR #UE4 https://t.co/i3HQKVEtQI

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

For the last day of #Blocktober, here's some VR whitebox shots. I've been handling the #leveldesign for my senior project, a Multiplayer VR Tactical Shooter that takes advantage of omni-directional treadmills!

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

@aminmontaze @utgame I got some similar feedback from my professors! Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day. I appreciate the input, I do think this helps quite a bit.

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

Just this Spring, I had the opportunity to take a #leveldesign class and I put together an @utgame level! Here's a few shots for #Blocktober

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

If you'd like to see the finished product, here's a link to my post on Artstation: https://t.co/B4WikkYdjS

[Brandon Jorgensen @BrandonJorgen]

My main goals were to keep the play space in a 50x50 and to create new mechanics not already in the game. Overall, I enjoyed the project and I had the pleasure to show how cool UE4 can be!
