The Cosmic Vale

About

The Cosmic Vale is a fantasy-inspired zone developed in Unreal Engine 5. It uses pre-rendered assets from the unreal engine marketplace. The primary goal of this project was to take the skills and techniques I learned as a Level Design intern with Blizzard in 2021 and apply them in my own work. 

This project came to fruition during my lunch break while interning at Blizzard. I was browsing Pinterest and came across an image of these floating runes. This single image created a light bulb moment and lit the spark which ignited the beginning of what has now been a 3 year passion project. 

Initially, this was only intended to be a stand-alone level design project. But I wouldn't be doing the project justice by just having it as a pretty display piece. So I found an Action RPG Template and I am in the process of bringing the map to life! In this level players will be able to: Quest, farm materials, fight mobs, play with their friends via online servers, and even run a dungeon!

Road Map

The Cosmic Vale will be FREE to download and play. I have a tentative release date of September 28th, 2024. I have plans to release it on Steam at a later date as well.
