Refined Map Design

REFINED DESIGNS

After compiling a series of sketches for the design of the level I had come to the conclusion that my original idea was too large and would have been too difficult to complete as there were streets that were considered to be irrelevant to the main game play. So after rethinking the approach to the design of the level, I decided to make it considerably smaller which would ensure that the player didn’t get lost like in the original idea.


Path Layout- Basic
The Layout of the accessible Pathways for which the player can take are shown below in the birds eye perspective.

Path Layout- Refined 1
The image below shows the pathway mentioned above but is more refined and shows the basic width of each road and pavements. And a couple of pathways were added to the scene to make it a little bigger.

Town Layout
The image below shows the slightly more refined version of the pathway but also included the buildings and the [///] boxes show which sections in the buildings have been destroyed and therefore gives rubble and debris blocking sections of the pathways.

First Person Perspectives
- Entrance
Compared to the original design, not much had been changed at a first glance. Originally when the player first enters the gate they have to take a left turn into an alley way as the road is blocked by debris, but with the redesign, the debris moved from the road to the area where the alley way is as there is a semi collapsed building replacing the path. The other change made to the entrance of the town is the bridge, as originally it was designed to be a bridge over what used to be water flow, but it is now replaced by a extremely large plummet to the floor as the area next to the town and under the bridge imploded underground causing the giant craters and destroying a majority of the town in the process, and also leaving a large drop under the bridge. For this reason I had not added a new one to remove the debris on the road as
