A nice finish and a final, foolishly forgotten hurdle.

Well, I have finished my Level Design Document and it is ready to be printed and stuck on a CD to be handed in promptly on Thursday, though it would appear that somewhere along the lines I have forgotten to include the Game Mechanics that will be included in this level (and if it were ever made, the game) so without further a do, here are the Game Mechanics:

1. Walk
2. Run
3. Jump
4. Pick up item
5. Inventory/Item builder
6. Interact

A Late Arrival

A wee bit late, given the fact that the 3D models are already finished (as posted before) but as they say, better late that never, right? This post is for my parer designs of both the Crypt and Catacombs section of Scene 1 of my level :-)

3D Level Desing Models

I have finally finished modelling my 3D levels using Google SketchUp!  Oh the relief!

Stuck some screen shots of them into Photoshop and made a Legend to show some of the key items, the quality isn't great on here because of the resolution but hey what can ya do?

Overall Level Map

3D Models

Ok, so I've been doing quite a lot of work recently on transforming my paper sketches for my level designs into 3D models (Not an easy task!).  Struggles with Google SketchUp (yes Ben, I know I suck!) have hindered my progress somewhat though I have finally approached some near finished versions. I believe Scene 1 - The Cemetery Section is totally completed, though Scene 2 - The Occipital Lobe Section still needs a few of the details putting in there (collectable items, the bridge you can see in the paper version and some other minor things) however the main shape of the map and some of the objects required are in.

Scene 1 - The Cemetery

Scene 2 - The Occipital Lobe

I still need to make the 3D versions of the Catacombs and Crypt from scene one, I also need to pen over the paper versions to get them scanned on and uploaded.

Scene 2 - The Occipital Lobe

My paper design for Scene two of my level is finally completed, now all I have to do is a couple of small rooms, one for the Catacombs and on for the Crypt (both from scene one..)  hopefully have those sorted for tomorrow, nice and set for Tuesdays lecture.

Scene 1 - The Cemetery

So, here is my paper level design for the cemetery section of my level, this will be 'Scene 1' of 2 for my overall level.

I need two small interiors for the Catacombs and the crypt and then I need to draw up my plan for scene 2 and scan that too, should be done in the next few days and hopefully up by Monday :-D

Environmental Research

I have finally managed to re-make my environmental research image so, without further a do, here we have it;
