Reflection of Design Process

I was really happy how well my level came out at the end of the semester, my tree assets blended in really well in the level. This design blog and the questions in which we had to answer for it, made it much easier to brain storm and come up with ideas to improve my level. In the future i could do so much more with my level nut for how it is now i am satsified with it,

One thing i would change is:

More detail is my assets, if i put some extra effort in some of my assets like bump mapping them etc it would increase the over all look of my level.

In the process of building the terrain, at the start my level was to flat and bare which made my level seem really boring. So with some advice i made my level more hilly and blended in paths to make it look like a community of people lived in the area.

Game Target Audience, Genre, Platform.

The target audience i am aiming for is 15 year old +, because i would have some violence and bad lanuguae.

The genre of the game would be a thrid person shooter.

And the platform would be for xbox.

Game title is "Brave New World" as said on the menu concept

My Start Screen Idea

This is a concept i have designed for my start screen, the background image is from stargate but it shows how i would design it. i only have one button on the screen but when you select it, it will give you the option to to start a new game, load, options and settings.

Brave New World is the game of my game.

My level Screens

Here are a few screenshots of my game level

My Interface

Here is a pic i put together to show show i would set out my interface and layout for a suitible way to give the user good feed back and not taking them away from the game.

i have used a few clippings from some game screen shots to show how i want it laided out.
