Tool Editor Tutorial, Introduction & Gameplay overview

Pre-production: Paper Map & Overview

Dwarf's Adventure.url_Level Design.pdf

The preproduction paper map was a little too big so I had to revise & minimize the map in the tool editor to make it have 3 ways to get to the end-point

In-Game Tool Editor Papermap Creation:

Containments in-game:

Chess Logo location: can input health potions, strength potions, armor and weapons
Trap Logo location: Falling boulders, spiked floors, toxic gas
Enemy Logo: High Elf, Spiders, Skeletons, Orcs, Bats, Guardians
Relics: Flute, Orb, Cube, Weapons, Armor give different types of positive stats
Key & Door: Same colored doors and keys will unlock something beyond the corridor
Armor & Weapons: Different types of high quality weapons & armor provides protect and big damage against enemy's

After creating the in-game paper map, placing enemy's and rewards it generates the 3D model structures interiors and exteriors. Customizing and implementing the health, buffs weapon and armor drops, keys locations and relics in the game.
