Happy Halloween! We're celebrating with a final look at Crisis of DreamCell's demo development! We're happy to show the process of creating levels and can't wait to show more of the full game in the future! #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level at its earliest state. This level has very little lighting and uses blockout for everything including doors.

Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level further in development with better lighting and replaced objects closer to the final look.

Crisis of DreamCell's Destroyed Office level as it is in the demo. This is the final look for the game.

Take another look at the design process for Crisis of DreamCell's levels! This level had a very different look early on, but when redesigning it for the demo we wanted to keep the same maze like feel! #screenshotsaturday #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

The earliest version of the Containment Gas Leak level, having a very maze like design with a placeholder elevator, ui, and enemies.

The start of the redesign for the Containment Gas Leak level, this time taking a very darker tone with less visibility.

The third iteration of the Containment Gas Leak level, with more lights showing more of the scene. Still in a blockout stage.
