During the final polish phase, I had the opportunity to set dress a couple of spaces in the map with the art team, this allowed me some creative freedom to use my existing experience with WW2 to craft some believable spaces that also provided a functional purpose in cover and narrative storytelling.

Key Learnings:
- Balancing a map for 2 different factions when natural elements such as deep water are used
- Conducting thorough research into a well documented battle of WW2 and ensuring the subject matter is respected
- Blocking out key POI and landmarks to help guide the player without the need to use a map (Churches, windmills, radar stations etc...)
- Supporting a team member during their time as a map lead via regular reviews and constructive feedback sessions
End Result
Initial Blockout
