Sea of thieves Island designs
Crab Island
I have set out with a core idea of the island introducing a new creature the players would have to face, this being a giant crab. from this, I set out planning out the island and having a quest incorporated to build key areas for the island. The quest for the island would take the player around areas of the island and ultimately leading to the giant crab's reveal on the small island in the bay.
From this level, I focused on a created questline and creating key areas that the player could explore and interact with to progress in the quest.
I considered the current mechanics of the game and how they can be used and/ or added to. With this in mind, I would have wanted to implement Castanets as an instrument to interact with the environment as well as calling the giant crab, similar to how the megalodon was first introduced.
In addition to this, the introduction of crabs could be made by creating interesting interactions for the player during the quest as well as building on the merchant alliance as it will provide another creature to capture and sell.
Pig Lagoon
Following themes from the game, a set out to create an island similar to Snake island and Chicken isle with another animal named island based on the pigs within the game. Other names were considered to follow the game's theme such as Bacon bay and Porkchop hideaway before committing to Pig lagoon. This would also set one of the key features of the island
I set out with the island layout resembling the porkchop in-game to make it more recognizable on treasure maps and the map table on the ship. However, the island could be mistaken for the chicken isle, as it shares the same shape. A fix for this would be to set the orientation differently to the chicken counterpart.
I then focused on developing this design further with themes used in the game itself such as landmarks to help with quests and provide some narrative for the player. In addition to this, adding wildlife to mimic what it would be like if it were to be implemented in the game.
