Environment Design Style

Task: Environment Design Style.
Feature: Map + Environment Interaction

The design style guide for the environment is an important aspect, affecting a wide range of features within the game. The interactive and non-interactive environment is constantly present throughout the game and links the player to the setting, story and world in which the game is set. Thus it is essential that the environment has a strong stylistic theme throughout, in order to facilitate cohesive game play.

Example (optional)

• Colour Palette: Style guide example featuring primary game colours and secondary colours and hex code (created based upon concept art)

Dependencies

Many components, particularly the visual aspects, and by association the functional aspects, will depend on the style guide of the game environment, and be affected by these design choices.
