Map Design

Area Layout

Each area consists of two main components:

1. Basic Dungeon Layout - obstacles/cover, enemies, doors (only open after all enemies are dead), [traps?] [top down 2D dungeon crawler?]
2. Boss arena

Area 1: Asgard Village Outskirts (Beginning)

Dungeon Theme:

• Village themed grass area. Trees as obstacles.
• Area can also have water on the sides, which can server as the map limit.

2. Boss arena: A boss guards the entrance to the rainbow bridge, which leads directly to the city of Asgard.

Boss candidates:

• The Great Serpent: Rests in the river underneath the rainbow bridge.
• Heimdall: Guards the rainbow bridge with his sword.

Area 2: The tunnels system under Asgard

Dungeon Theme:

• Dark and gritty
• Lit by torchlight (maybe flickering?)
• Rough stone paths with some possible water/liquids flowing underfoot.
• Tunnel edges can be edge of room

Area 3: Asgard City Streets (Exterior)

Dungeon Theme:

• Cobblestone floor and walls
• Sun shining or could be overcast
• Barrels/crates/pillars as obstacles.
• Houses can serve as the edges of the rooms

Area 4: Palace Walls

Dungeon Theme:

• As if you're ontop of the walls that would surround castles, just bigger.
• The crenellations can serve as the map boundarys and will also therefore give a map that has a smaller width than the other maps would have, allowing some more distinction between areas.

Boss Area:

• A boss guards the entrance to the palace walls.
• In front of a gatehouse with access to the walls

Area 5: Inside the palace

Dungeon Theme:

• Dark, lit by torches
• Stone floors and walls which serve as the room boundary
• Furs and other such trophys can hang on the walls for atmosphere

Boss Area:

Area 6: Inner area of the palace

Dungeon Theme: Similar to above, just better lit with a bit more opulence.

Boss candidates:

• Loki and then Thor as the final two bosses

Area 7: The Throne Room

Boss is Odin, the final boss of the game. Who is also optional to beat.

Possible Changes

Map design is subject to changes depending on speed/quality of development.

• New possible intermediary levels: Asgard sewer, along rainbow bridge, etc
