Fallen Crown is the location where the moon Elpis impacted with the planet and one of the main antagonists of the game has now taken residence.  Players would visit this area twice in the main story, so I needed to design the area to not only be interesting for multiple visits, but to surprise players with combats that felt different each time players entered the area.

The Gunkworks was an interesting challenge due to being restricted by the driller’s circular movement that could not be altered.  Building an interesting town in the middle that offered varied verticality created great cat and mouse gameplay while fighting enemies.

Queen’s Cradle made great use of the grapple hook tech and allowed players to jump from combat to combat for strong kinetic gameplay.
