Role and Responsability

Disc Track

I designed the first part of the track with the primary goal of benefitting cars with high acceleration. To accomplish this I utilized

  • Straight Aways

  • Obstacles

  • Wide Turns

I was also responsible for setting up the mirrored tracks for the game. I set up the sublevel structure for each mirrored track. Then implemented all obstacles on the Disc track and some on Dune.

What Went Well

  • I was able to communicate effectively across multiple disciplines.

  • Implemented feedback from playtesting.

  • Getting the wide turns to feel good in my part of the track.

  • Not enough attention was paid in the beginnin on how my design fit with my teams.

Post Mortem

What Went Wrong

What I Learned
