This last month I have been going back and forth between two ideas. The first is my original one (see below), but with the story changed round a bit so there's no more aliens etc. The other idea involved me creating Rivendell, the Elf town from Lord of the Rings, and having a similar game set there instead. The player would have been sent there by the Elf council to find out why Elf's are losing their longevity powers etc.
The problem I faced with Rivendell was the fact weapons and characters in the game currently wouldn't fit in well with the theme. I would then have to create weapons like Swords and bow and arrows, as well as characters which just wouldn't of been feasible. Creating the whole place in 3D was something I was looking forward to, and I may do this as a side project for my CV.
So it looks like I'm sticking with my original idea. I have been playing about with UT3 constantly since I last posted and I have come up with lots of ways to make a single player experience feasible in the current UT3 engine just by using Kismet, although I will be learning UTScript. I'll send my idea to J this week after I tweak the story some more and write down some more ideas. I'll keep playing around with UT3 until I get these books which will help me get started creating the map in the best way possible.

About Artus
Artus in my final major project of a 3 year course studying games design at Hull School of Art and Design.
The game is based on a post apocalyptic world, which ran in parallel to ours until around the invention of electricity. The story tells of how they found another source for their energy, called Seed, which they adapted to work in humans as a sort of mini powerplant. When the energy started disappearing, people started dropping like flies and the world lost over 90% of it's population.
You play a character called Alessandro, a merc working for the company who discovered the energy source.
As I'm planning on becoming a level designer, the primary focus of this level is to show how I can build and adapt levels to include pacing, story, emotion, fun and general gameplay elements as well as the ability to build good look levels which use lighting correctly and take on the correct colours schemes to portray the right mood.
