Containment - Beta

 

Modular Tunnel System

This week my main goal was finding and implementing a functioning map from the asset store. I looked through a lot of topics such a horror, puzzle, maze, and even poly. I needed something that was not crazy complex and did not look too realistic, but also, I did not want to be using a low poly map as I thought the colours and design of monsters is not as scary of a horror game. I searched up some sewer maps and found a few that were either free or a super low price, all I needed was a modular map where I could move sections around to change the shape and size of the map.

In the end I picked a simple Tunnel asset pack which featured some basic modular tunnels and a few basic props. While I would love to have a more complex and stunning environment with the time that I have left to complete my said game, I think this is the right decision and choice to be made. Now that I had picked out my map, I began placing it together and moving around the prefabs, it was tough at first to get prefabs to line up but once I enabled the grid snapping system things began to fall into place quickly. I made a nice maze which had multiple T and X junctions as to give the player multiple routes and added some doorways which lead into rooms where I plan to add a puzzle or two. 

My game will not be as complex as I would like it to be but its more about the developing process I feel, and I’ve enjoyed working on every bit of this project so far. The last thing I did was test the navigation of the monster within the map and it worked perfectly, no issues at all I gave the monster some wiggle room on the edges so it would not get stuck on the corners. The last thing I need to do is add a puzzle or two in which ill add a game over a scenario where if the puzzles are all completed a door will open in which the player can escape. I would have liked to add a menu setup for my game, but I sadly do not have the time left to do so.
