Frontline

Collaborative Project

Project’s aim was to see whether through terrain design we as developer could have more diegetic way of guiding, to make this happen, Ik Hwan Kim, doctoral candidate from KAIST who specializes in landscape architecture in cyber space helped creating core terrain design elements, such as use of light and shadow, different tone of colors in the terrain. Fallout 4 has one of the largest modding community which guarantees at least some level of audience which is essential in collecting experiment result. To maximize the effectiveness of the terrain design, player needed to decide on the fly without a deep thinking of which path to take. To force this on the fly decision making, we introduced some of the game mechanism change. 1. Increased the damage of the player 2. Decreased the amount of health enemy has 3. Increased the number of the enemy at any given moment
