104 Exp3 Reflection

Experiment Three was the final project for 104.

The Brief was to make a virtual environment investigating being "on", "above" and "below" the environment whilst thinking creatively.

The project allowed us to show and expand on the knowledge that we had gained.

The two key ideas for my level were; to abstract the idea of what on above and below were by ordering the level in such a way that as you moved deeper into the level the environment reacted as though you were moving towards the surface.

The Second idea was to show a process by moving the player through a mine like environment following the production line towards the final object.
