iii. Design Process
To begin the map design process, I sketched out several different ideas. After reviewing the sketches, I chose the one that appealed to me the most and proceeded to visualize it in Maya
-
The level is constructed as a Circuit Level with one lap of the level taking approximately 20-30 seconds for a novice/average player.
-
Across the level, there should be one distinct Gameplay Event that Challenges and Rewards the players’ actions.
-
The gameplay should include the Main Path, one Alternative Path, and one Shortcut Path within the Gameplay Event.
Module-based design allows for the efficient reuse of a small number of models to create the foundational flow and rhythm of level design, saving time and costs. It enables quick prototyping before finalizing the core level settings.
