Souls-like Level

A dark fantasy game level inspired by games like Dark Souls. It was my first time working in Unity, creating optimized assets and using trim sheets, and I also explored Substance Designer for material creation.

The project took three to four weeks over Christmas and New Year, and taught me a lot about asset management, Unity workflows and Git.
