Work in progress on The Lost City of Gold. This week, a few high vantage points. I like to use height in level design to offer some interesting views. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #leveldesign #lowpoly #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

My game, The Lost City of Gold. This is the temple of gold though (the entrance to the city). I want to try and keep the actual reveal of the city for players of the game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #leveldesign #lowpoly #indiegames #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

A few more images from my City of Gold game project. A first person adventure with a little light platforming, light puzzling and collecting. Lots of secret areas and hidden easter eggs. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #leveldesign #gamedesign #indiedev #madewithunity
I made a 14 level game about a lost city of gold. Puzzles, light platforming, collectables. Not sure what to do with it yet. Either way, it's been a fun project. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev #lowpoly #leveldesign #gamedesign #indiedev #madewithunity
