Star Stone

Game Summary: Star Stone is a 4 player battle arena game with a realistic art style.
Plot: Fight in the arena to be the last player standing, using your fists, weapons and anything else you can find within the arena to defeat your enemies.
This project is a part of my masters degree programme (MSc Video Game Production, Enterprise & Design) in which I also worked with students from other masters degree programmes. (MA Video Game Development & MS Video Game Development)

During this project I worked a level designer planning and constructing the arena for the players to battle in. This involved research so I could design an arena that took into consideration, four players playing locally together and be able to have the camera adjust accordingly to them. The scale of the arena to allow for implementation of props and hazards for the players utilise and finally designing a level that allows for engaging game play but also to be visually impactful to the player.

The turret interactible was linked to an Excel spreadsheet, so the values of the turret could be changed with ease, to allow for efficient game balancing.
