I wanted to develop the game level as much as possible so I began to conduct research, developing a mood board helped to narrow down on the design. I also focused my research on different reference images. I found a lot of visual support from a variety of different medias, in particular; Borderlands 1&2, Book of Eli and Valkyria Chronicles.
I found the openings in the buildings interesting and feel its definitely something I will experiment with.
A screenshot from the playstation 2 game 'Valkayrie Chronicles'. A close depiction to what I had in mind for our level design. The crumbling remains of an ancient civilisation engulfed by sand and uneven terrain.
The two previous screenshots are from playstation 3 game 'Borderlands 2', I feel are character design shares many relations too Borderlands characters. So I had a look at the aesthetic of there level designs. If i have the time I would like to develop the textures to resemble those of 'Borderlands 2'
Playstation 2 'Valkayrie Chronicles' I found the surrounding dust clouds inspiring and will look to incorporate a particle effect to our own level, if I know how....
Simple yet affective, the use of several duplicated rocks rescaled and slightly tweaked from one another to generate this look. Something I'll dabble into.
I was attracted to the shape of the ruins but not only that, the scale is an important aspect to the ruins.
