The Bank Heist mission - Level Design
May 15th, 2019
This level design is a third-person shooter where the player has walked into a bank to rob the vault and the alarms set off when a member of staff saw the player with guns, the player has to be quick on getting the vault open to steal the money and getting out of the before back up arrived,
The brief I set myself to follow was the following:
● The player is a bad guy,
● The mission starts when bank security alarm turns on
● The layout of the level was created in UE4 editor
● The level should be playable with basic scripting
● All major events should be included in the level flow
● Description of a general flow of the mission, as well as the specific playable events, should be summarized in a separate document illustrated with screenshots of relevant mock-up level.

When the player kills the guards the player will be able to see the different security camera views of the bank from the computer which they need to do to locate the bank manager who enters the printer room.

The player will destroy the VCR tape, and when the players collected both of the keys, they will make their way to the printer room where you get the key for the gate from the Manager and force him to come with you to get the other vault key card.
