I created Serengrove back in 2007 in order to make my break into the Games Industry. My primary focus was to create something unique which would be unexpected in Doom 3. I love tudor style architecture and decided to use that as the theme for my level, as it not only provides opportunities to create a very creepy environment, but is also vastly different from from the typical Doom "space staion on Mars". Because this is a single player map where the player takes on the role of a protagonist, I also wanted to provide some basic narrative structure to give players a feeling that they had some purpose for being in Serengrove, rather than sending them running from point A to point B shooting at zombies. This was accomplished primarily through objectives and pacing; the level doesn't start off in the thick of the action, rather players are told to explore the abandoned town and consequently disturb the denizens within it. To help drive the narrative, players will also encounter an unlikely guide as they begin to explore explore Serengrove. It should be noted that this level was designed as if it were part of a series of levels, so what happens prior to or preceding Serengrove is left up to the individual player to decide.
