To Sketch a Game...
Added 2022-06-11 15:38:19 +0000 UTCThis week I have commenced what I consider to be the most important part of Haggard's development.
Unlike Hedon, for which I used to sketch a level and then go ahead and build it, for Haggard I plan to sketch the *entire* game first.
I cannot state how important sketching is - since I have a lot of ideas written down, I will have to shape and distribute them along the 11-12 levels I have planned in order to be brief and not lose myself along the way.
In this stage, I'll be building Haggard's skeleton and hopefully end up with a complete layout to which I can add and adjust elements as I go further in development and thus refine the game while having a decent overview.
This sketch is Map02, a nice and comprehensive level on which me and papy plan to build the game prototype upon.
Expect a lot of such sketches in the future months :^)

Yeah, and more compact, since this isn't a retro FPS, I need to keep the maps smaller. Or at least try :^)
