Game level inspiration
This battle has given me ideas on the what kind of game level that I want to make the skill’s that I will gain will slowly put on this blog, with concepts and drawings of props in the area.Also, there will be 3D images in this battlefield and cannons in the level area this will be set in a small temple shrine area .In the level design I will try and make a weapon to fit in and the texture that will be placed in the area .

Battle plans for the battle of Tabo
- This image shows the battle plans for the war that happened in the information I have read they say that there was a total of 2,500 troops for the vice commander Okubo Takayuki .About 400 men of the men troops were armed with pikes and firearms .
Sasaki Tasasaburo was the leader of the other side fighting this war this war was the fall of the samurai.
Game level Idea
The concept I am going for is a open field area with two temples each side of the map where your team are placed your start with swap weapons but thought out the map you shall find stuff such as firearms and pikes also there are cannon’s in the middle for you to use to destroy the defences of the opposing team.There will be different ways to move around the battlefield as well to gain the upper ground from the other team. Such as this image a concept I have found online that I am working off to help me gain ideas from .
This is so I have a concept idea for the base idea of the level idea I want to go for but with a more destroyed look due to the battle that has to be waged for a few days in the area such as building on fire and people running away . also, another image showing the kind of overhead style I shall try and go for.
