Level Design

For our game we are wanting to base it off of the wonderful Japanese culture. We don't to make the actual location as we want it to be our own so we can express our own map designs for the levels. However that soon changed as want some F1 tracks to which we will have to pull a top down image from internet in order to make the track accurate. The two F1 tracks will be the British Grand Prix  and the Japanese Grand Prix. I am happy with doing these maps but I insist that we make a touge map which are tight roads that are found in the mountains of japan where people go to drift and race their cars. I couldn't find a top down view of some touge roads so I got an image that had some good bends in it and will base my track off of that.

Props/Asset Pack

For researching the props I looked at loads of images that were took in Japan. I am using Pinterest and Google images to make sure I know how to capture the Japanese culture. From trees to the bins and bollards I will be modelling the exact ones that can be found in Japan. The biggest hint that this will be based on Japan will be the cherry blossom trees which are famous for their bright pink colour.
