Whitebox progress - Asa

Our game is loosely based on geographical areas of Austin, the player rides past & through important Austin landmarks but the locations are not 1:1 accurate because it is a linear level. My first level design took place on 6th  street, and while I liked the design, I think it would have been a little too busy to feasibly get done & it was already a little too much like another teammate’s section of the level. I really liked elements of it though like the signs you could ride on top of and the big crane and saved those for future iterations.

The second idea I had was more based on the capitol building, which is where I took some of the ideas from the previous design and added onto them a bit. I kept the ability to ride on top of buildings and do tricks on top of them, but I added an elevator feature and an option to break through building windows and ride inside for a short period.

The third layout I was trying to focus more on the hills and dips on the ground, which I felt I had been neglecting a bit in the previous two. It’s inspired from this one section of Guadalupe close to campus that’s just pothole after pothole for a good 20 seconds that I deeply dislike driving on. It is not completely finished but if I had more time I would have added in more opportunities for tricks and worldbuilding features.
