Hello Readers,
This week I focused on beginning my research on the history and symbols of the LGBTQIA+ community.
This research led me to add more ideas to my mood board. It also helped me create a color palette based on the colors in all the flags the community has and guided me to choose creatures and elements of nature based on the plants and creatures that are symbols of the community.
For example, unicorns and rainbows will definitely be part of the experience. Additionally, plants like lavender, gladiolus, green carnation, and lilies will be part of the terrain design in the experience, since they are all flowers strongly linked with the LGBTQIA+ community.
I further advanced my research in the unity asset store and downloaded assets like terrains, flowers, and fairy dust effects that go along with the theme of the experience. Moreover, I saved models, from GooglePoly, of animals, creatures, and other assets that will add to the experience (e.g. a chest, rocks, mythical animals).
Finally, I conducted research on interaction techniques and established a basic hierarchy of my core interactions. For example, the most important interaction in my experience will be moving around the paths (look map of the experience). Another important interaction is throwing rocks and cutting down leaves in order to open new pathways.
Moving forward, I want to focus more on the path map of my experience and start deciding the initial placements of my assets in the experience to make my level design more detailed.
Thank you for reading,
See you next week.
