...and no thank you to twitter image cropping.

The game is Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond (vr), and the final art is by the talented devs at Virtuos Games.

I hadn't thought this would reach this far, so here's some more context: I'm the designer that did the LEFT. Those are called blockouts (or blockmesh, or graybox..), which are prototypes of the level that are made mostly to work out the FUNCTION of the level. (1/4)

I worked on the blockout, then put in gameplay, then made precise adjustments as needed. In my case, this was a shooting game so it was about player movement vs AI movement, sightlines, cover, etc. The level is playable at this state, but not polished for the eyes. (2/4)

When the gameplay side of it was at a good point, the art team turned these blockouts into finished environments (the RIGHT). Even while doing this, there was a continuous back and forth in the process to find balance between form and function. (3/4)
