CQB TRAINING ARENA

CQB

Research & Planning:
I began with in-depth research on real-world CQB training: understanding key training objectives, evaluation methods, safety protocols, and tactical movement. Notably, I incorporated practical details like overhead catwalks for instructors—mirroring real-world observation methods—into the level design.

This project came with a significant challenge: to develop a full VR-based Close Quarters Battle (CQB) military training simulator from scratch within just two months. I was appointed as the lead for this project, managing a team of seven: three programmers, two 3D artists (while I contributed to modeling and level assembly), one sound designer, and one voice actor.

MAGIC MADNESS

MAGIC MADNESS

Magic Madness is the flagship project of Victoria VR, where my primary role was level designer, with significant contributions as a game designer.

One of my core responsibilities was developing an innovative VR magic combat system inspired by the philosophy of elemental interactions in Feng Shui. Players use VR controllers to "draw" elemental symbols in the air, casting offensive, defensive, or healing spells.

Beyond combat mechanics, I conceptualized and implemented the player lobby experience. Players begin in a fully interactive virtual apartment located on the upper floors of the iconic Victoria VR tower within the Victoria City skyline. This personal space serves as both a pre-game waiting area and a customizable hub, featuring:

• A builder plugin allowing players to decorate and personalize their environment.
• A panoramic window view, emphasizing the immersive capabilities of VR.

THE CURSE OF THE SEAS

48 HOURS

This project was created during a 48-hour game jam, where I worked as part of a five-person team to develop a fully playable game under strict time constraints. The jam required participants to include selected themes and modifiers into their games. Our assigned themes were "New World," "Eclipse," and "Mirrors,".

After an extensive brainstorming session, we conceptualized a pirate-themed game set in the Caribbean Sea during the era of exploration. Players control a pirate ship navigating a small harbor teeming with enemy vessels. Sailing close to an opponent initiates a duel, transitioning to a separate screen where the player engages in one-on-one ship combat. Combat revolves around timing and positioning, as players steer their ship with arrow keys and fire cannons from either side. Defeating opponents strengthens subsequent enemies both in power and ship design, culminating in a final showdown against the legendary scourge of the seas.

EARTH ARENA. YELLOW OWL

MAGIC MADNESS

YELLOW OWL ARENA

Yellow Owl Arena is a PvP battleground within the Magic Madness project, designed with Feng Shui principles to reflect the Earth element through stone and sand textures. At the heart of the arena lies a colossal stone head of an earth elemental, serving as both a visual centerpiece and a landmark for player navigation.

This level was crafted to seamlessly blend interior and exterior environments, offering players multiple traversal options between the temple’s inner sanctum and surrounding outdoor areas. The arena encourages strategic positioning, vertical gameplay, and quick decision-making during combat encounters.

Game screenshots showcase various perspectives of the arena, highlighting the interplay of natural and constructed elements, vertical pathways, and combat spaces.

MAGIC MADNESS

WHITE TIGER ARENA

White Tiger Arena is a PvP level designed for Magic Madness, located inside a levitating ship generating static electricity in a dangerous, stormy region of the Victoria VR world. The arena presents players with a high-contrast environment where the bright, clean interiors oppose the dark, thunderous atmosphere outside.

The level design focuses on vertical gameplay and varied traversal options. The arena is divided into three key sections: two hangars at opposite ends of the map and a central corridor connecting them. Flanking routes surround the central path, allowing for alternative, safer player movement. Massive reservoirs and pipes in the hangars encourage vertical exploration, enabling players to navigate through jumps and elevated platforms.

Color Palette & Feng Shui Influence:

• Dominant white with supportive bronze tones, contrasted with blue accents
• Bright, clean interior contrasts with the dark, stormy exterior seen through panoramic windows.

WOOD ARENA. GREEN DRAGON

Level design

MAGIC MADNESS

GREEN DRAGON ARENA

Green Dragon Arena is a PvP battleground set atop the highest cliffs of the Victoria VR world. Designed to evoke the serenity of an ancient Asian temple, the arena juxtaposes natural rock formations with architectural elements like torii gates, bamboo walkways, and temple colonnades. The central stone pond, surrounded by weathered columns, serves as both a visual focal point and a key navigational landmark.

The level is designed to let players move smoothly across the map with small elevation changes added through rocks and buildings. Since there’s no strong focus on vertical gameplay, the main challenge comes from moving sideways, using cover, and choosing the best routes. Players can fight openly around the central pond, sneak around using bamboo paths, or take cover near the temple structures. Buffs were placed carefully to encourage players to keep moving and make thoughtful decisions about when to take risks, especially in key combat areas.

NORTHERN LANTERN

PAYPHONE

This project was a personal challenge aimed at exploring lighting, composition, and the integration of storytelling elements through environment art. I deliberately chose a nighttime setting to focus on dramatic lighting contrasts. The use of classic blue tones against warm yellow highlights draws attention to the central element—the payphone booth. This color palette not only establishes a strong visual focus but also enhances the mood and narrative context of the scene.

Additionally, this project provided an opportunity to experiment with SpeedTree for the first time.

This cassette player project was a personal challenge to push my skills in photorealistic 3D modeling to the limit. My goal was to capture every detail with precision and create a model that could stand out in both realism and craftsmanship. I approached this piece with extra care, focusing on refining every component to perfection. Special attention was given to the textures and lighting setup to ensure a high-quality final render that would highlight the model’s realism and intricate details.
