Week 3-4 Assignment

This level assignment required us to create a level that was both functional with a list of criteria, as well as aesthetically pleasing.

I decided to create a pirate island after looking through the available asset packs on the Z-drive. Once I had a theme, I knew how I wanted to layout the level, and how I could use the theme to influence how I used the criteria. To add more game elements, I created a goal for the player as well as hazards. To get across the large body of water, the player has to jump on small platforms, or get on a moving boat, either way, it requires proper timing. The goal of the game is to find the treasure by following the path of coins.
