Del Piero Mansion

Date: January - April, 2025

The Del Piero Mansion is a stealth level for a game in which the player takes the role of an undercover cop who has managed to infiltrate the Mafia.

Taking place in and around the family's mansion in the heart of the Sicilian countryside, the player must sneak around gathering key information to help take down the mafia.
Don't get caught snooping in places you don't belong. Or else you might get whacked!

For my final year project, I decided to make a stealth level. Level design has been my strength when developing games, so I wanted to use it for a genre that I hadn't touched on before. I further developed my skills in level design, especially when making the pre-production documents and world building.

As part of my pre-production for this project, a layout of the ground floor of the mansion was drawn. I used a recommended whiteboarding tool, Excalidraw. The floor plans are all to scale which helped when blocking out the level as I already new the dimensions of each wall.
Before making these floor plans, I studied many architectural drawings of mansions. A common feature was foyers that would have multiple corridors leading off to the sides
