This week there’s been further development of the first level whitebox and some new environment mockups. We’ve also started to implement human soldier AI enemies and playable human characters, although we aim to show this in a future SitRep as it’s in a very early phase.

Environment and Asset Mockups

Sam has been working on transforming concept images to 3D environment mockups. Below is artwork of a lab scene which has been fleshed out into 3D. The 3D work helps to demonstrate the layered nature of the environments, with even small rooms having various routes through them.

Additionally Sam has begun concepting smaller details in the environment, such as the keypad below:

Level One Whitebox Progress

The Construction Site has been developed further from last week and a few new buildings have been added, namely the Tank Hangar and Civilian Accommodation.

Part of the construction site. This area will server as the tutorial area as it has plenty of space for the player to get to grips with the handling, and no security to stop them
