Incorperating the story
Now that I am a bit further into the project I have started to create some story into my models starting with the broken train rails/crashed train.
So the story behind this train is that the Acronians tried to stop the generator from becoming even more unstable in a futile attempt. They shut off power from certain parts of the train as these were the area's that used the most power. There were many casualties during this event as this was a decision made in a moment of panic. Once they realized turning power off in certain area's was not giving the effect that they had hoped they stopped this process immediately to avoid any further casualties.
I am planning on extending on this story with some more supporting items like consoles and posters. For now however I am going to focus on making some good progress on the level itself.
Progressing on the level
I also decided to make building blocks that can be re-used all over the level. This way the designer I am working with can easily place these model into the level according to her own vision while designing the level.
I will make more of these items over the course of the project.
