Floor Plans

Monday's homework was to drawn up two floor plans in illustrator  One in is suppose to be an abstract map and the other is suppose to be a realistic map. The hardest part of this project was deciding on what assets to place on the map because depending on what you chose you could end up messing up a realistic theme.

Sea Cave Level

               Section A

The player is dropped into the level from a hatch. The character falls into the water and will be forced to dive to find the exit. Section A contains one of two exits. Directly above the first exit is a gap with a jet stream sucking in and blowing out at intervals. At the back wall of the gap, behind the jet stream is a wall of sea anemones that shock and paralyze.  Below the entrance is a solid wall that continues into section C. Once the player steps through entrance, immediately, the floor should give way to another room. In this room is a chest and an enemy.

If the player continues to follow the main path, they will come to a fork in the path that runs up and down. At the top is an anemone and a path that continues into section B. the road that runs downward will have a jet stream blowing out from a gap at the bottom; leaving a small place for a chest.

Section B

              

               When the player enters section B they will enter from section A. there is a cross bar that splits the room in half. At the far right is an isolated room containing an enemy and a chest sitting on a ledge. This room is accessed by following the main room down avoiding two anemones on the wall of the room partition. An enemy will be patrolling back and forth, between a gap and an anemone. Two rooms flank this gap. The one above will be guarded by an anemone and contains a chest. The room below will have two anemones flanking either side of the room. If the player continues on the main road they will hit a floor, and will have to choose to swim right to the isolated room or left into section C.

Section C

               In order to find the entrance to section C, the player will have to follow the wall coming from section A down to the bottom of the map. This area is guarded by three enemies. The solid wall should eventually give way to an entrance guarded by anemones. The player will have to swim through six anemones flanking the walls of a narrow path. This route leads directly to the exit room; which has a jet stream blowing from directly above it. There should also be an anemone guarding the exit room entrance.

               The exit door is locked and can be opened by obtaining a key in a room just above the path infested by anemones. This room should be large and have an enemy patrolling in and a key in the far corner of the room.
