District - America’s Army Level Design Project (EMC, 2008)
Team members: Emily Benton, Jeremy “Munchies” Burau, Halley Greaves, Chris “Sookta” Matuszek, Max Nichols, Dan Peavey
Press Release: IGN: Army and Champlain College Partner on America’s Army PC Game Missions
This was a cooperative project between the Emergent Media Center at Champlain College and the
America’s Army development team. The developers in Emeryville provided critique and feedback,
as well as providing official backing to the project.
We were tasked with creating a full level using only assets provided by the current America’s Army 2.0
editing set. All level work was done in Unreal Editor (Unreal Engine 2) with a team of six people, with myself
tasked with the job of ensuring a consistent and cohesive aesthetic vision to the final result as well as acting
as a level designer. Balancing aesthetics versus resources guaranteed that game play would not be hindered,
existing only to augment and assist the flow of the map.
