So I was an artist and I was tasked to work on part of the first floor. Specifically the throne room, servant's room, and the ball room.  The first thing I had to do was make the block out of my rooms in the first floor with the stuff we had in the asset packs we were given and that wasn't too difficult just the only thing was making sure everything I was using match  with the other parts of the first floor and that was easy as I just had to use stuff from the same pack as the rest of the first floor that was already being used. Choosing what to use for props was pretty easy as the mood boards and room descriptions that people made were pretty clear and I think I did a good job with bringing those descriptions to life. Although originally the ball room was originally a drawing room but after some people looked at the size of the room it was decided to change it into a ball room so I had to change some of the props in there.

Then after the basic layout was done I had to add some lighting to the rooms which was a little annoying because I had to keep changing it a lot but It was very minor changes so nothing too frustrating. Then I also did some minor stuff like adding some more props to the throne room, adding a ceiling to the rooms,  adding stairs to the throne room, and adding a broken window to the throne, organizing the rooms folders, and adding visual effects to the candles and torches. 

Then one big thing that honestly I wish I did early in the project was redoing the wall because a lot of them had a lot of z fighting and I didn't fully get fix them until week 10 and also the ballroom walls were awkward to do as I had to keep messing with modeling mode to make walls but honestly It looks fine in the end so It was worth it.

Then after I fixed the wall everything else was very minor as it was just making small changes to my level like fixing some of the collisions for the ceiling and door to the throne room,  adding flickering to the lights, adding glass to the broken window, fixing the z fighting on the floor, and fixing the stairs in throne room so you can walk up them instead of having to jump up them. Then the very last thing I did was choose two rooms and take some screenshots for a showcase. I chose the garden and the prince's room.  The prince's room was actually a bit difficult to get pictures of because it was just a room.

Honestly besides working on the walls a bit early there isn't anything I would do differently on this project. I think I did pretty good on this project and I had a good amount of fun work on it.
