As a developer on DMM from conception, I utilized map design layout sketches, map blockouts, set dressing, kit-bashing, level sequencer, camera blending, and level streaming for level/cinematic design and optimization.

Level Mapping
Through blockouts, I am able to fine tune the layout of buildings and player pathing to create areas of interest the player will want/need to traverse to using:
- Line of sight with Vertical Buildings
- Openings and alleyways to grab the curiosity of players
- See which layouts look natural and which ones do not
Set Dressing
