The two big changes I made were the texturing and the monster placement / player flow. One of my big motivations was to use Makkon's updated textures. Yet as I aligned the 100th trim texture on a brush, I wondered whether my level was also anti-brutalist in its own way. Maybe it wasn't such a bad map after all?

Almost every 3D asset is painted using only one atlas texture. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture. We tried to solve this issue with Unity’s Line Renderer, but that tool doesn’t allow to do it properly. They are textured using the same atlas map and need to fit into the grid size.
