Level Design - Island 1

(Last Update: 03/11/24)

As for right now, we are planning to have a total of three islands. It may scale up or down depends on where we end up.

Progression

• Non-linear
  • The player are encouraged, if not forced, to travel back to the previous islands, with their new unlocked ability
• An overall progress tracker in the screen at all time
  • no individual progression tracker for each island.
• Unlock:
  • Common player activities —> new island
  • Collect collectibles —> new abilities

Order of events

• Player arrive on an island, with a number of potential interactables and puzzles
• After most of efficient interactions triggered, player is introduced to the second island.
  • New ability unlocked some time in between.
  • Abilities and islands unlock in some order, not necessarily alternating.
• After most of efficient interactions triggered, player may decide to continue on the same island, or going back to the previous island to progress more efficiently.
• After some actions in the first island, player now gain access to the third island.
• Repeats.

Below is a diagram for the order of events:
