01.002 – Sketching the intro

This part Is one of my main priorities! This Is the part that everyone sees at the start so if you loose their interest now you have probably lost it throughout the level, or they may not go thorough the rest and they may not even play any of the squeals or any of your levels at all!

So you can see this is important now I will not be putting much detail into my intro (start of level) because I'm just showing you but I will take longer than I did with the other diagram. The best way to sketch out your intro is on paper but you could use a drawing software on your computer. (Paper is the best but I don't have a scanner)

This took me only like 10 minutes but this is what you should come up with (well make it look good as possible) and tell yourself what materials you are going to use. This image helps some people more than others but you will find it helps you in one way or another. The way this helps people the most is because when they see the image it sets off a spark in their imaginations and you will find some people can just look at the image then make the whole level. But if your not that type of person you can make multiple pictures like this at the main events of the level.

Like the Start, Where the story gets tense, mini boss, boss and finish.

Basically the bits you need to focus on, the rest of it will just follow round the corner!
