ESTHER RIMINGTON - GAMES DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Esther Rimington / The Last Aerie.
After an asteroid impacts Maas-Danta, humanity attempts to rebuild. Sheltered in last great aerie of the Shadowborn, survivors emerge years after impact to a devastated planet. Mankind survived in struggling settlements until the great war started, the War of the Last Aerie.
The spoils of war will be revenge, territory, blood, of course - the sweet, SWEET BLOOD. For when life is threatened there's only one course of action: battle to the death!
Part 1: Cinematic Map Navigation.
This project was done as part of my university course, By using Unreal Development Kit (UDK), I was required to create map of any fictional place I liked.There was not a restriction for this requirement, so I could be creative!
I also needed to have a fixed navigation path from one point to another, using a virtual camera. The camera can be single or stereo camera; the requirement is that the navigation path must be tested properly at all time. Whilst there is no requirement to demonstrate interacting skill with the internal object, I was required to demonstrate my skill of:
‐ Lighting,
‐ Texture mapping,
‐ Trees
‐ Fracture structure,
‐ Audio and Particle system.
Part 2: Poster to Market Your Map.
I had to produce a A0 size poster to demonstrate the unique selling point of the map (from Part 1). This then was displayed in the university for people to ask questions about.

Feedback.
"A very well constructed level of map with good outdoor terrain and in-door structure. It will gain more marks with a much better smoother camera navigation such as not move through the object. Overall, I think it is an impressive work and well demonstrated." - Kevin Tan 2012.
