Mind Note of Level Design

 I did Level_1 through Level_4 mind note. In order to list different elements need to be included in different Level.

Now, I will start working on the sketch of 1-4 Level.

Here is the mind map:


In Level_1, this is the easiest level, because no monster. All it want the player to learn is the basic operation: jump, go forward, backward, double jump and crouch
In Level_2, in this level, add some monsters, cliffs and combine the elements in Level_1
In Level_3, maybe will add the spikes or traps
In level_4 will switch to another background.

Upgrade Cm vcam in Level_1

Image
 Increase the lense of CM Vcam in Level_1. CM Vcam is the player's view in the game and it will follow the plyaer's moving. Because when we are playing the prototype of Level_1, the major problem is player cannot see enough map to advance the game. Thus, I increase the lens and size of the camera in order to let player can know where to go and where has the trap or not.
