What about the shadow kit if he's old god or voidy? Water and Shadow?Īre we actually just killing the corruption? Hack through elementals to see if they are actually corrupted or not? What about those tentacles? I think he physically punches the tank instead of casting. Don't want him too big.ĭo we want it to be this one elemental? Do we want splits?ĭecisions on phase structure - do we want A/B phases, or A then B then C?Ĭombining phases and fantasy - imagining how working next to the ocean works. So do we want him mobile or not? Maybe we want a mobile boss for early boss so the last boss feels more epic. Since he's the first boss, is he protecting the temple? Maybe he's trying to literally wash you off the platform. What if he can shape shift - maybe he turns into a wave, or duplicates? What if when he submerges or is invisible, the water fills, and when he's in elemental form, the room is dry? Maybe we should summon him out of the existing water? Started discussing ideas - do we want to see the elemental come out of something? Yes.ĭoes that mean we want water in the room? We only have 1 rule in a brain storm, there are no bad ideas. We'll be designing the first of 3 bosses of this dungeon. We were very inspired by the art from the concept artists to create the layout where you walk along sea bluffs and cliffs, underneath a stone Kraken. Once we figure this out, we give the blueprint to the designers. Our boss is an enormous water elemental!įor dungeons, we draw a layout to help us navigate. While Stormsong Valley is idyllic, it has dark secrets.
The armor the Sea Priests wear in the panel screenshot looks very similar to the datamined Kul Tiras armor: Their stronghold is the Shrine of the Storm - and this is our dungeon for today. These sea priests bless every single ship created.
But why is the Alliance interested in the Kul Tiran navy? Why are these ships different? Stormsong is a dominant military power in the valley with a secret group of Sea Priests.
Lots of ships are made here, it's a beautiful zone. Stormsong Valley - this is the setting for the dungeon being designed today. So why would we have a quest designer on a dungeon design team? The quest designer of a zone is involved in the creation of the story of the zone, and since the instance is in that zone, so that those dungeon decisions are informed. Next is the production meeting: This is Encounter Designs. Next up is the Art Kickoff - bit of a brain storm and brain dump of things like what is the purpose of each room or area. We start with a pre-production meeting, which goes over things like: Setting (interior or exterior), Story (why are we doing this dungeon), and what is the boss list (we usually know the end boss after the pre-production meeting.) This leads to a 2D mock up. Ken Huang wore a special shirt in honor of the Eye of Azshara seagull: So what exactly does a designer do? We've got Ken Huang, Morgan Day, Scott Gordon, John Hight, Candace Thomas, Johnny Cash, and Ted Bacinschi aka Slootbag.
