“Extensive player discussions occur around the quality and character
of new game maps. Some maps borrow from popular culture imagery; others borrow
from more generic settings (villages, desert compounds, high rises, 747
airliners, waterfront docks, factories, and offices). The virtue of a map is
judged by its ability to generate "good" game play”
We used ‘Fight Club’ as our movie. We decided to create our overall
birds-eye view map by combining multiple generic video game scenes. We’ve
combined a “desert compound” scene and a city “high rises” scene into the one
map in order to portray the distance between each location in the movie. We
used the desert to represent the vast distance between each level and we used
the high rises to indicate that each location is actually located in a city. For
the action map, we have chosen the last scene where the player has to blow up
multiple buildings. We will have legends at certain action points showing the
players choice and the outcome of those choices.
