1 Pre-production Research

​​

  • MRT Research​​​​​​

    • I did some research on MRT (Modular Road Tool) and found the way to create a roller coaster track.​

​

  • Track & Railing Modular

    • I created different width tracks and guardrails for the MRT.

2 Level (Track) Design

​​

I am responsible for the level design of Track 1. As the first level that players face after entering the game, I hope that the structure of the track can be interesting and variety enough to attract players to continue playing. Therefore, we designed some wow moment, including:

​

  • Vertical Ramp

    • Players have the opportunity to perform a cool drift on the gate at the entrance to the carnival.

​

  • Statue Square​​​

    • ​This is an open area where players can freely choose their movement paths and interact with traps to put pressure on their competitors.​

3 Environment Art

​​

I am responsible for the level art of Track 1 and Track 2, as well as the production of the dynamic grass brush.

​

  • Level Art

    • In terms of level art, each level has a theme and corresponding wow moments. The theme of the first level is the entrance to the carnival, so I designed the wow moments as a huge ramp track that acts as the gate. The theme of the second level is the interior of the carnival, so I designed a moment where the player can shuttle through the snack street.

​

  • Dynamic Grass Material

    • ​There are many areas in each level scene that are not filled with art assets. In order to increase the richness of these areas, I made dynamic grass material using virtual texture. This material not only has dynamic shadows that move with the wind, but also changes its color according to the color of the landscape.​

What I Learned

​​​​​​

  • Pipeline in a big team.​

  • Keep communicate with team members in other tracks.

  • Figure out the priority of the art assets in the early stage.

  • Use the project management tool effectively.
