Red City
Red City was my second Directed
I undertook this project because of my
months to create. Red City is a mini-
experience. I wanted to make a level
Focus Study project. It took four
campaign consisting of two levels for the
cooperative multiplayer game called Left 4
Dead 2. In this campaign, players take on
the role of survivors who make their way
through a city while fending off zombie
hordes. In the first level, the players
abandon their temporary safe house to
get to a building with a higher rooftop.
In the second level, the players create a
S.O.S signal on the rooftop to catch the
attention of a nearby rescue chopper. The
players defend themselves against the
common and the specially infected until
the chopper makes its arrival.

building skills, but it also honed my ability
to deconstruct the feedback given by
players on the internet.
