Week 1 - getting started

After learning about this module and the key factor that we would be working in groups to produce a final piece of work. I was very keen to work with other students that i thought would work hard and be able to create a good game level together.

I'm very happy with my group and after learning about the design brief we quickly got together to start brain storming ideas.

With the design brief being about an alien race coming back to earth to take control after planting technology here a few thousand years ago.

With this in mind we tried to think of key historic environments which could link to this. We came up with the ideas of: rome, great canyon, stone henge and easter island.

We ended up agreeing on the idea of easter island with the unique head statues being linked to the alien technology.

Straight off we started a plan of our environment and what we could include within it. We also create a base asset list with all major parts. I was tasked with designing and making the boss which the player will end up fighting if they make it to the end of our level design.

I'm looking forward to this module and hope it goes well.
