I’m studying design at Victoria University Wellington, 104 is a computer based paper working mainly with Unreal and 3D Max. Experiment 3 was a navigation experiment creating multiple levels with movers and triggers. I created a maze design interior space; within the maze i designed multiple levels with the purpose to invoke the player to feel a certain way. I wanted the player to enter different levels of risk and uncertainty to create this I researched The Museum Cafe. Level 1 is basement style, walls are tall, lighting very dark. I created a very rough and frightening stairwell up to second level making the player uncomfortable. Level 2 was created to give the player a feeling of a calm interior and exterior space. The walls are at eye level height portraying a feeling of safe and a non threatening atmosphere with very natural indoor lighting. To carry you from 2nd up to 3rd i created a mover in 3D max. Level 3 is very different as you do not have a floor surface to walk on, the player has to step and jump across blocks leading you to a mover.
