​

I designed an alternative open-world area for the game A Short Hike as part of a two-month exercise.

​

After defining the specifics of this area, and where and how it would fit into the overall experience, I designed various related elements:

• topography

• landmarks and lines of sight

• points of interest (exploration & action)

• resources

• non-player characters

• end of the main quest

• three side quests.
