IDEATION
I wanted to slow the process down on paper. The themes I explored included verticality and dilapidation in the engine. Sketching out ideas made it tougher to explore those themes, so I instead started thinking about sightlines. Where is the next objective, and can the player easily find it depending on where the head is? What is the solution to the puzzle? Can it be solved without picking up the head again, or must it be left in its spot? I considered all of these questions while I roughly crafted the level space.
