Immersion and theme

My goals with the lighting was to enhance the textures that I laid down and to invoke the eerie feeling that the arena was breathing or living. While not shown off well in this screenshot the lighting here is pretty neat as it fades in and out helping to give the arena a sinister presence like the souls of those you kill are going to it.

Guidance and orientation

My goal for this section was to make this feel like a place that death has transpired, that death has made come to life, and that they can only get out of through killing others. This screenshot shows one of my teleporters that glows in the dark to help give off the impression that something will happen if they go through and also that otherworldly forces have touched this structure.
