This map is inspired by the Soviet recapture of Smolensk from German forces in 1943, with the goal of portraying the city after nearly a year of siege.
For the latest Hell Let Loose map, Smolensk, my contributions were primarily focused on set dressing. I helped dress every sector of the map, ranging from rural farmland and industrial factories to the heavily bombarded city centre. I also created the three primary bridges spanning the river.
Special thanks to the incredibly talented Environment Art and Level Design teams, as well as everyone across Expression Games whose efforts helped bring Smolensk to life in Hell Let Loose Update 19.
