Synopsis
Real time multiplayer games use dynamic map elements to shake up the level and create points of interest for the player. Looking at Battlefield 4 which used huge collapsing structures to create large scale map changes. Even looking at something more playful such as Overcooked 2; you can see how adding shifts to the level instantly makes it more interesting and creates different strategies the player needs to play around. When looking at turn-based games, this philosophy isn't carried over and levels tend to be static. This project aims to create a level using dynamic map elements to create points of interest and ultimately shake up how a player engages with a turn-based map.

Project Motivation
First person shooter multiplayer games have always been my go to genre - recently I have become quite addicted to Overwatch again. However turn-based games have always intrigued me and therefore I took a plunge recently and played Hard West 2 which I thought was excellent. Therefore I wanted to find a way to merge these two genres while still focusing on my chosen specialist subject; Level Design.
