This month we’re participating in Blocktober, highlighting the work of our talented Level Designers. Now up: Sebastian McBride sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the “Dicky Twister Club” location.
This blockout was done relatively quickly around the middle of the project. I wanted a location where the player could lean into a non-hostile experience that they could walk around in before switching up to more traditional stealth gameplay. The goal was to embrace the tone and vibes of stealth game staples but done the Cyberpunk 2077 way.
The idea of the main office overlooking the whole club was something I leaned into early on. The moment you enter the club, the objective is right in front of you: you see your goal and now you have to figure out how to get there. The club owner overlooking the location with the stage “'extending” out in front of him was absolutely intentional innuendo. I guess he had a bit of a complex.
