The whole DragonWing level at night: snow-covered buildings and towers packed onto small islands. — Level overview: a small footprint built upward.

A snowy night-time village level inspired by Spyro, built on the Spark project in Unreal Engine 4. The challenge: turn a small map into a long, rewarding route by building upward.

My part: everything, from level and game design to puzzles, combat spaces and lighting.

What I did

Used height and verticality to stretch a small footprint into a long level
Took the level from documentation through blockout to set dressing and lighting
Practised third-person movement and basic level Blueprints

In the level

A snowy village street at night, lit by lanterns, with a dead tree and stone houses.

Snow-covered rooftops under a starry sky, with a round target hanging between buildings.

A torch-lit stone courtyard with a barred gate, closed in by tall walls.

A cottage roof dusted with snow beneath the night sky.

A dim room lit by a single wall torch, its doorway opening onto the village.

A dark interior with a brazier glowing at the far end.

A torch-lit arena where orcs wait behind a portcullis.
