Modeling Blog

I have created a new blog to act as a portfolio while I revamp my personal site. Check out what I have uploaded so far at http://mayasleedom.blogspot.com

New Mod in Development- Fifth World

After spending some time collecting myself after having to deal with some personal family issues, I am getting around to modding in Unreal 3 which is what I truly enjoy.

I want to take what I learned from working on my senior thesis and try a new project that I hope will be something truly spectacular. I am calling it "Fifth World", and it is based in a futuristic, dystopic setting influenced by Mayan/Mesoamerican mythology and culture.

Screencaps from the level, maps, and views of the models to follow shortly.

Unreal 2 Mod Now Available Again For Download

Niroch's Tomb was my first attempt at a single-player level in Unreal. If you have Unreal Tournament 2004, you can play this level. If you don't, watch the demo clip to get a sense of the gameplay and flow.

Game Design Introduction

Hello my name is Sara Leedom and welcome to my game design blog. I am a student at Otis College of Art and Design, and a video game designer. I am currently interning at Heavy Iron Studios/THQ and working on my senior thesis project, which you can see here: http://neogenesis-the-game.blogspot.com.

What you'll see here:
-Examples of my work in Unreal and Maya.
-Information about myself
-My game design concepts and design process: paper maps, documentation, etc.
-My thoughts on game design in general (eventually)

I'm also working on my own website: http://saraleedom.com. It's not much at the moment, but hopefully it will better serve my needs as an online portfolio site as I progress.

My current online portfolio (outdated, but my resume is available on the site):
