Overview of Theme

Welcome to The Chateau. Once a castle of great splendor, The Chateau has now fallen into disuse, merely a battle ground for warriors seeking the glory it's now lost.

Preproduction

Brainstorming

Setting:

There are assets of fine art pieces on one of the sites of available assets. I wanted to use these but I needed to think about what environment one would find these assets in. What kind of setting would have art pieces on display? What kind of environment would have these on display but also be a battleground? A medieval chateau would. So, I then went and found asset packages that would fit the setting of a medieval chateau.

Assets for the Castle:

So my next step was to look up chateaux floor plans to get ideas on how I wanted to structure my level:

• https://pin.it/2s0HVrP

• https://pin.it/76EIvb4

I really like having a castle layout that mostly has walls around a larger space in the middle like the first two floorplans. My sketch of the level is heavily influenced by the first one. See the 2D Layout Page for this wiki for more information on this.
