Level Design

Gameplay

4 player Vs 4 Player asymmetrical First-person multiplayer shooter

Team 1: Humans – Objective is to plant timed explosives onto objective and protect the explosive for a limited time.

Team 2: Creatures – Objective is to protect objectives from explosives, deactivate planted explosives and deplete Team 1’s respawn tokens.

Mechanics

Team 1: Carries firearms, stronger in medium to long range, takes less damage than team 2, weaker in close range, are less agile than team 2.

Team 2: Carries close combat weapons, stronger in close range, more agile than team 1, weaker in medium to long range, takes more damage than team 1. Has night vision.

Inside of the electrical room will be a lever that will turn on/off the lights in the whole building of the map. This will be implemented because, Team 2 has better visual capabilities in the dark, being able to see things better, however team 1 does not have these capabilities. When the lights are switched off, team 2 is at an advantage and team 1 will either must continue to fight with less effective visuals or fall back from the fight to turn the lights back on. When the power is out, the security room becomes locked, preventing access to the health and ammo pack.

Summer 2024 Solo Project Dev Log Week 1

  Summer 2024 Solo Project On Monday the 6th of May 2024, I have begun creating a solo game project during the summer of 2024. I will be documenting the development in dev logs on this blog.  To begin this project, I created the base documents that I will use to figure out all the different aspects of my game concepts. These documents are: A game design document (GDD), a level design document (LDD), a technical design document (TDD) and a idea generation document. These documents will explain what the game is, why I am making this game and how the game will work. In standard industry practice, there would also be a Narrative design document (NDD), however, where I am working solo on this project and that this game will be a simple game fundamentally, a document about narrative is not necessary. I will document narrate in both the GDD and the LDD. With these document templates, I create five folders with copies of each document in each folder. These folders are for a different ...

Final Project Week 7

 In this week, I decided to create a formative feedback form for my current game level. To do this, I when onto Microsoft Forms and created a form and showed off the current build of my level to multiple people which then gave me feedback using my form. From the results of this feedback form, I had learned that players end up being lost and/or confused when playing my level and that the objectives on the map where not clear. This is a issue that I will need to address soon in the levels development. I had also gotten feedback about the vent system and players would want a more expanded vent system and a chance to go into the vent system in the game. I will have to create a quick block out of the new expanded vent system and the implementation of a crouch button. The next tasks for me to do are to expand the vent system and to implement a crouch button to enhance my game level.

 For this week, I had finalised the block out of the level. This means that the pre-production phase of my project has been completed and that I can move onto the production phase of this project. I had also conjugated all the work so far into a informative video which shows all the pre-production work. The video can be viewed here:  The next step is to begin turning the BSPs into static meshes to create textures and begin turning this block out into a proper level environment.
