MINECRAFT DUNGEONS: HIDDEN DEPTHS

LEVEL DESIGNER

Minecraft Dungeons: Hidden Depths was the first professional project I worked on as a level designer. It is the fifth DLC in the series and takes place in an ocean biome.

LAVA MONUMENT

Design Overview:

  • A secret, epic volcanic dungeon nestled into a larger underwater air pocket.

  • Traverse the Radiant Ravine until you stumble upon a secret entrance to an epic volcanic dungeon nestled into an underwater air pocket.

  • Take on various platforming puzzles and conqueror the fiery lava geysers, but be careful not to stand on them as they sink into the lava!

Learning Outcomes:

  • Worked closely with another level designer on this content. Allowed me to practice combining two different design styles.

  • Also presented challenges as we had to compromise and iterate together to ensure the level flowed perfectly.

  • First taste of designing, planning and implementing a new mechanic - this being the ‘lava geysers’ which rise and fall and make up the main platforming gameplay.

  • Developed my cross department communication as I worked with art, programming and audio to bring the mechanic to life.
