Ascension

Working within limited mechanics - ladders, platforms, locks, conveyors, teleporter- and was prohibited from modifying any scripts

All environment geometry created using ProBuilder for Unity, textures from Quixel Mixer, scripting package by Rich Wilson

Level divided into 6 sections, each visually designed after a piece of concept art, and mechanically designed to feature one of the main mechanics, gradually combining them

'Discovered' narrative as I built it, happened upon interwoven layout wherein path leads back onto itself, but now with extra door to allow for final hidden elevator to open

Displayed on the right are the major sections of the level with the corresponding concept art that inspired their layout/design

Major consistent mechanic is key/lock gating, wherein each section's final door that can only be unlocked by solving the puzzle to get a key

Quarry - Introduction area, introduces player to basic movement, ladders, and key/lock

Atrium - Multi-floor puzzle room inside the pyramid adding moving platforms to ladders

Halls - Introduces teleporters mechanic, player must use them to access multiple keys

Chasm - Introduces conveyor belts crossing gorge to access platforms/teleporters/keys

The chasm also includes an (in)famous puzzle mechanic - hiding a bonus behind an open door

Pit - The first part of the pit is only simple platforming, with a bonus coin area accessible through a hidden teleporter

Return to Surface - Upon finishing the pit, the elevator rises back up through the center of the quarry, at which point the player can open the slot in the front of the main pyramid

Final Ascent - After opening the pyramid slot, an elevator descends from the column in the center of the pyramid, which the player takes up, rising through an eye to the end of the level
