Asian-Style City Blockout
Blockout for a coop TPS for 1-4 players, set in a city environment.
The test that got me into the internal Playstation studio in Berlin.

Overview and process of creation.
I share the challenges I encountered and how I reached the final outcome.
In Miro, I've outlined a rough level plan:

The main goal is to strategize the placement of fight arenas and major objects in relation to each other (top-down view)
Rooftop landing on the Tall Building (Entry Point).
View from level start to point of interest (Massive Advertising Cubes).
Tall Building Fight Wave 1 (vs Riflemen and Runners).
Tall Building Fight Wave 2 (vs Riflemen and Runners).
Sliding Down Fight (vs Snipers and Riflemen).
Inner Courtyard Fight (vs Riflemen).
Ascending on an open elevator Fight (vs Snipers and Riflemen (they also throw grenades from a building on the right)).
Good time to activate the defensive ability Shared Shield.
Sliding Down Fight 2 (against Riflemen and Runners).
In these cramped spaces, both character abilities are good. For example, Shared Shield will help you pass under fire to a good position on the left.
Massive Advertising Cubes Fight (vs Riflemen. Players should use cube rotation to gain an advantage).
On the narrow roof of a cube, where players are forced to be together, the Damage Amplifier ability will be very useful.
