City Inspiration

The inspiration for the game comes from 2 places.

Firstly is Mirror's Edge, A free running game that has you travelling over and through buildings in a city. Quickly traversing from one building to the next using the roof tops.

The second is Crackdown. The mechanic of this game that I am looking at is the ability to upgrade your character using orbs that then result in you being able to jump higher and further than before. These upgrades are needed if the player wants to reach the top of the taller buildings. An idea I plan to use.

Below are images taken from each game.

Using blocks and trigger boxes I can change the gravity when the player enters a new area

The gaps get bigger and bigger as the gravity decreases
