It's impossible to show the entire level for these sketches but it helps give art direction and inspiration for you to build your level upon.]]> 2018-05-16 01:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/261061893 kevinhktan https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/432208523

An electric room (for what? factory? computer lab?) And what are these shelves for? Would be good to reference some real life photos to get a better feel of believability.]]> 2022-02-09 09:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037479868 Ruin Level Top-Down Sketches zjleegg https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037700481 This puzzle is like tic-tac-toe? Looks ok. Do consider different elevations for your level to make things interesting. Also, this looks somewhat of a linear experience. We will cover some tricks to break linearity in lectures.]]> 2022-02-09 11:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037700481 Ruin Level Perspective zjleegg https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037711635 2022-02-09 11:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037711635 Tutorial Level Top Down Sketch https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2037788353 1. The Starting Point. Players can know the movement key
2. Teach them press the interact button to push the box.
3. Here will be a sign told players push the box to the button (B2) to open the door (D2).
4. Players will be told to press E to change character.
5. Put a sign here to let players know Vee (small robot) can get to the another room via tunnel.
6. Put a sign here and highlight the fuels/battery so players would not miss out, and told them press R to refill
7. Here will be a sign to tell players that press Space to jump when controlling Vee.

Hmmm... very hard to imagine your level.

2. 2nd floor will have one puzzle.
3. The players will learn some basic tutorial at basement , so we design the basement smaller for tutorial purpose only.
4. No every room is able to enter for exploration purpose.

To make a believable level, it is good you can reference a real school and see how they layout the place.]]> 2022-02-09 15:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2038176143 Top-Down Floor Plan(Outside, Ground Floor, Second Floor) darkvorb90 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2038334502 1. Player will start at (6) Bedroom and do some tutorial for come out from the room.
2. Some room need specific key to unlock.
3. There is some pages pices inside every corner of the game world, player can read it to understand the story.
4. There are 1 puzzle at Garden, 2 on Ground floor and 1 on Second floor.

Same advice. Your house will feel more believable if you base it off a real house plan.]]> 2022-02-09 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2038334502 Bedroom Perspective darkvorb90 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2038335934 2022-02-09 16:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2038335934 Top-Down Floor Plan ( Starting, Level1, and Level2) senichisakamoto36 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039145420 1. Player will start at the stone platform (Left Image). there are 3 stone plate for players to interact to understand the challenge they going to face to get the key items. Those messages also include some hints for them to pass through those challenges.

2. Top Right image is our first room, Bottom right is our 2nd room

Does player have a chance to exercise skill to overcome traps? Or again, just luck-based?]]> 2022-02-10 00:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039145420 Top-Down Floor Plan 3rd room senichisakamoto36 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039147861 Remember about skill vs luck? What skill does the player utilise to remain in the "unfall platform"? Looks like blind luck and trial-by-failing to me.]]> 2022-02-10 00:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039147861 Ground Floor's Lobby Perpective gerald66 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039381134 I can't really comment as I do not see your floorplan]]> 2022-02-10 03:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2039381134 Top Down-Level Sketches xunhan65 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2041469571 1. Player will start at the arrow symbol.
2. 3 levels
3. Level 1 & 2 need to get the key (key symbol) to open to the locked door (K symbol).
4. Player will fall when stepping in F symbol.
5. Level 1 & 2, the player goes to the next level by going to the stair symbol. Level 3 is the player needs to interact with the star symbol to win the game.

Rather than make so many levels that are meagre, you can combine all the good stuff into one single bigger level, so that there are more things to see and do and is exciting to play.

Also, the path that you drew is actually linear (mostly) and not very interesting. Remember, a game is a series of interesting choices. If your path is linear, there is no choice.]]> 2022-02-11 01:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2041469571 Perspective Sketch xunhan65 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2041471587 2022-02-11 01:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2041471587 Maze map layout - sean & winson https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044012541 in-game environment is generally grim like horror games

game objective: light up all statues

player holds a oil lamp that lights up environment, oil lamp dies out, and player dies when it does, oil lamp can recharge at Big Fire and Small Fire

player gets teleported back to start point when lighting up a statue

early levels have no puzzle as they are tutorial levels, puzzles are designed for later levels]]> 2022-02-12 20:07:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044012541 start point(perspective sketch) - sean & winson https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044014946 player lights up statues and obtain gems of different colours ]]> 2022-02-12 20:11:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044014946 maze chamber with a Small Fire (perspective sketch) - sean & winson https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044015430 2022-02-12 20:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044015430 Starting Point Perspective (Khanie & Aik) senichisakamoto36 https://padlet.com/kevinhktan/3e9j4vzk7pfx/wish/2044446144 Why are there pillars emerging out of nowhere?
