Ghost of Yōtei - Location - Cape Inari Hideout

For this location, I was tasked with creating a Ninja Den themed around a hidden coastal training camp. I worked closely with designer Eric Jensen to build an area that met all of our design and art goals. This was a fun location to work on, especially since it was one of the first areas in Teshio Ridge that I contributed to. I handled most of the layout, world work (terrain sculpting and rock placement), and set dressing, with help from Ash Thundercliffe, who updated parts of the combat area. It went through a few iterations, but I’m really happy with where it landed.
