Aaron Stump
Senior Designer

For this project, I began with a high-level vision, focusing on the core gameplay experience I wanted to create, the setting that would immerse players. Starting with these foundational elements allowed me to establish a cohesive design direction early on.

Next, I broke down the mission into detailed beats, refining them to ensure a smooth and engaging progression. With the narrative and gameplay structure in place, I gathered reference images to inspire the visual style and design elements. This step helped bridge the gap between concept and execution.

From there, I sketched a rough top-down layout of the primary point of interest (POI), iterating on it as the design evolved. The image shown here represents a polished version of the layout, finalized after testing and refinement during the blockout phase.
