This document features moodboards for two theme proposals; one suggesting an overgrown but toxic and polluted city landscape, and the other proposing an American 18th century setting inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s literary work.
After comparing with the moodboards of other team members and voting on the preferred theme, the team decided on the Lovecraftian theme, as it allowed for a great variety in locations, sub-themes, etc. as well as providing surreal geometry that would fit well with UT4’s gameplay.
After diving deeper into the different locations in the Cthulhu mythos, I decided on basing my level on the frozen Plateau of Leng, mixed with ruined 19th century architecture.
