Outpost 11
My project at the end of my first year with CG Spectrum
Hello, I'm Eric Scruggs and I hope you enjoy my project.
I'm a first year student at CG Spectrum and I made this level in my Game Design Course under the mentorship of Scot Bayless. I call this project Outpost 11.

Interior Video. Starting from the top floor and traveling through the command room and hallway to the common room and level exit.
This level was intended to be a location in a larger game world set in the setting of near future Antarctica. I have always enjoyed ice and snow levels in video games and felt inspired to create one. Locations in this world were to contain elements the player would seek to destroy or dismantle, such as, computer servers, satellite communications, and power supply.
Under the mentorship of Scot Bayless at CG Spectrum I’ve been able to learn a great deal about level building, set dressing, and lighting. A year ago I had no experience working with Unreal Engine or any Art related software. This level is the start of my journey in hopes to someday become a game designer. It started as a crude drawing on the back of an envelope and finished as a video game level. In the pictures one can see that from gray box to set dressing this level has undergone a lot of learning curves.

Transition for Hallway to Common Room.
Transition for top floor with drone and roof access.
To develop the character of the outpost I placed and created elements I thought would make the level more credible. I added the drone and truck. The truck is a marketplace asset but I added spotlights to give life to the headlights and a blue-green cab light to add depth to the prop. The drone has undergone changes, its took a couple iterations to model a credible drone in Unreal Engine.
At the end of my coursework, I'm happy to show what I've made so far in just a year without any prior experience with Unreal engine and hope to keep pursuing video game design as a career. I hope you enjoyed the project. Thank you.
