Here's 2/20 maps I've created for Vi 3v3 Arena. I'll be sharing the rest over time!
Duo Sanctum was originally designed as a dedicated 2v2 duel map. However, after extensive playtesting, it became one of the community's favorite maps, and we eventually opened it up as an official 3v3 map. At this point, I think we might need to rename it in the future. 😄
This was also one of the fastest environments I've built. With a tight development schedule, there wasn't enough time to fully concept the map before production, so I jumped straight into creating a playable graybox. The priority was to get a functional level into the hands of our playtesters as quickly as possible so we could evaluate the layout, pacing, player flow, and whether the arena felt too small or just right for competitive matches.
After numerous iterations based on player feedback and gameplay adjustments, we reached a point where the map achieved the experience we were aiming for and decided it was time to move on to developing new arenas.
This project was also where I spent a lot of time experimenting with shaders and VFX, making it a valuable learning experience alongside environment production.
This is the second map I've created for Vi 3v3 Arena, and I'm excited to share the remaining environments over the coming weeks.
Thanks for checking out my work, and I hope you enjoy exploring Duo Sanctum as much as I enjoyed building it!
