Project Background
During my fifth mod in SMU's Guildhall Masters Program, I created a Level Design Document for a proposed mission as a part of hypothetical DLC for Naughty Dog's Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Because their level editing tools have not been made available publicly, I was not able to create the level in engine. However, I designed the full level in a level design document as if I were going to go ahead and build the level in their tools for real.
I did this as a design exercise for myself and because of my passion for Naughty Dog's action/adventure series.

Level Overview
Durga’s Judgment is a single player level that serves as downloadable content (DLC) for Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. In this hypothetical DLC, Nathan Drake has uncovered an ancient Cambodian legend that tells of an artifact, the Durga’s Eye, which allowed its bearer to look into the future. Drake does not believe the supernatural aspects of the legend, but he believes very much in the fortune the Eye could bring him on the open market. With this goal in mind, he sets off into the mountains of Cambodia to discover Durga’s Temple.
Unfortunately, Drake was unaware that there are other interested parties, and the race for the Eye is on.
