The object of the game is to proceed though levels in order to kill the final boss at the end of the game. The game will work on room to room basis, this means that when you enter a room you have different obstacles to hide behind and you need to clear the room of enemies, in order for the next one to open. The will be split into 5 tiers and on each of the tiers there will be 4 levels once you have completed a level you then advance forward in tiers, when advancing in tiers the game will then randomly choose a level from the 4 in tier two, this then goes on until you complete the final tier in which you move onto the final boss level.

Lo1: Game ideas and Synopsis

Time Drift
This game is a FPS game in which you have to work your way though multiple levels. The twist on this compared to other FPSs is that when you are stood still time slows down, this adds many new elements in which you have to strategically stand still in order to line up the perfect shot or to dodge incoming projectiles and analyse your surroundings.

Insignia:

This game would fall into the genre of Puzzle adventure. The idea behind the game is that you have to find the truth behind a long lost treasure forgotten in time. You would have to solve loads of different and challenging puzzles to eventually find the truth behind this lost in time treasure. 

Stealth Ninja 3:

The game would be a action adventure, it will follow the idea of a stealth biased game in which you have to pass though the levels being a stealthy as possible, you have to break into a top secret agency in order to steal top secret information that could be crucial towards winning a war. The game would be side scroller and have a very good AI detection making the game harder.

Lo1: Mind Map

UE4 first impression

I found UE4 really useful and easy to use, the videos i followed to give me the basic information onto how to use it was very helpful and gave me a clear overview of some shortcuts and how to use it. The engine was at first a little confusing but after a few attempts to make things i found it easy to use and a good way to make anything that would be put into a game.
