Design Sample

LEVEL DESIGN

The Saint of Virtue's battlefield is located within the hidden regions of the heart. The kingdom of the heart is portrayed by architectual regions surrounding the Throne, the very control center for our lives. Each level is painstakingly designed to reflect situations and conditions common in our Christian walk. The small thumbnail to the left is a link to a design sketch for the allegorical region called "The Labyrinth of Legalism. Every level within the game has a specific design which was planned to reveal actual conditions of the heart.

Each level of the game is a 3D environment. Utilizing a true 3D Raycasting engine, the player will navigate the kingdom of his heart from a first person perspective. This fast and exciting style of gameplay allows unlimited movement throughout the 3D world of the heart. Below are breif explanations for several of the regions through which the Saint of Virtue must navigate.


THE AMPHITHEATRE OF APATHY

The Ampitheatre of Apathy represents the tendency to be apathetic as a Christian. The regions within Apathy graphically represent Media, Worldliness, Worldly Wisdom, and laziness. Before the player can progress in the game, he must escape apathy by overcoming the distractions to his Christian walk. Apathy is inhabited by the enemies of Worldliness and Pride.


THE LABYRINTH OF LEGALISM

The Labyrinth of Legalism is symbolic of the belief system based on works and performance. Inside the Labyrinth the player will encounter the twin siblings of legalism: Legalistic Pride & Legalistic Fear.

The Labyrinth has two main sections. The Dungeons of Fear represent the pursuit of fulfilling the law and the realization that no matter how hard you try, you just can't do it all. The Palace of Pride regions represent the self-righteous Pharasaical attitude of obeying all the rules and keeping all the laws and by doing so, earn salvation.


THE NEW AGE NIRVANA

The New Age Nirvana represents one of the most enticing belief symptoms in today's culture. Self glorification and the acceptance for other people's methods of self worship are the norm. Absolutes are forbidden within the various regions of self delusion, where the god of self reigns supreme and things aren't nearly as grand as they appear.


THE THRONE ROOM OF THE HEART

The Throne Room of the Heart represents the control center of your life. The big question here is, "Who is on the throne?".
