Assignment 03: Part 2

Here is a video of a very rough walkthrough to get a sense of where things will be in the level.

Here are a few screengrabs of the blocking progress:

Interior of St. John's Chapel - arches under construction

 The dungeon seen from the torture chamber
 The main stairwell inside of the circular tower
 A split-level view of the entrance to a secret passageway and the stairs that it leads to
 A wireframe of the whole level so far

Assignment 03: Level Obstacle Difficulty List & Level Layout First Draft

I am starting with the White Tower in the Tower of London and have just found this awesome floor plan which delineates which parts of the castle served which functions, as well as specifying the locations of the staircases. There's a lot of potential for cool stuff - the secret passageway on the upper level, the crypt below the chapel, the dungeon below the crypt below the chapel and a super creepy torture chamber. I'm using historical reference to shape the interactivity of the level, so more to come very soon! http://www.timeref.com/castles/keeps2.htm

Level Blockout Progress
I think I'd like to start the blocking process over - I started constructing the whole of the Tower of London - inner and outer walls and the towers along the perimeter, as well as the Waterloo Block, but there is a lot going on in the White Tower alone. And I'm having scale issues, but here is what I have so far.

The Tower of London! It's got a hospital, an armory, a traitor's gate, the crown jewels, a menagerie, and allegedly, ghosts too. And a moat.

Aerial view - modern day

Tenements in Edinburgh - style for the barracks

This gaslamp

The Traitor's Gate - I want it to connect to a sewer tunnel

On top of the inner courtyard wall

Tower Green and the Queen's House


Entrance to Waterloo Block

The White Tower and Tower Bridge (Under Construction during the time period)

TOL for a sense of varied heights

The Great Fire of 1666 - architecture reference for houses
