Castle Yard Entrance thing

by Foestar · in Constructor · 09/19/2008 (11:19 am) · 7 replies

So yeah, i've been working on a level for my game where all it is is an entrance to a castle. So I guess you could call it a courtyard? Basiclly the player will be stuck in this courtyard while waves of monsters come from the front entrance. So the player has to kill all enemies until the levels boss comes. So my idea was to make it a small, yet large enough level that keeps the player in bounds, but allows them enough freespace to run and hide in a corner if they have to. This isn't done yet. It's what I have so far. I still need to add a busted up front door, and a door (just for visual display) behind the tree aswell as many side objects to add detail to the game. But this is what I have so far.

But let me know what you think so far.

Its a very nice start. Kinda like a tiny Keep. as a point of note, some forward towers would be nice, and some towers on the back would complete a nice 4 point castle with minimal changes. and it breaks up the single level wall around the walkway. But looks really good.

Yeah, I have the general area where the player is gonna be spending his/her time. But I was having problems thinking up how to implement this idea into a larger scale interrior so that the player not only had a level to complete, but a nice graphical view aswell. I am gonna add towers to each of the front corners, but not to sure about the actual rest of the castle. But now that you mention it looking like a tiny keep, I can't help but agree. I think I may turn it into one. You actually just helped give me ideas. :)

So I did some more work. I added in some towers, a door, and the forts backside. I didn't go to into detail since the player won't be able to get out of the courtyard to explore the entire model. But I tried to instead model based off the courtyard perspective.

The textures look a little stretched but overall nice job.
