Project update: 14/05/2019
While finalising the design of the level 1 environment I came across UV lighting problems, to solve this I removed the overlapping objects and made one large object (edited). While doing this I decided to change the style of the schools interior as I wasn't happy with it.
Original Level Design:
Edited Level:
The main changes was the wallpaper and flooring which I designed quickly in paint.
I have also added in the collectable object which is labelled "CheatSheet" this is what the player will try and find before escaping in time.

Project Update: 12/05/2019
This week I have managed to finish my level 2 environment:
which included adding bedrooms and bathrooms to make it suitable to be called a house.
I have finished importing the audio needed for this level including:
The AI speech
Story speech
and other sound effects such as collecting items and opening doors
I have finished blueprinting the level and have now added in functions where the player has two options of gameplay
-only problem I have with this which I haven't had time to fix is when a blueprint is activated it spawns in new lighting, which the environment hasn't built - the way to fix this would be to already have this in the level then "moved" the the designated area. I have slightly fixed this bug myself by changing the lighting stats as "movable" not "static".
I have also managed to record:
The intro (which includes the 2 cut scenes and the main menu)
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Target by next week:
My last focus for my project is to finish the environment (minor touches)
and add objects and functions
which included adding bedrooms and bathrooms to make it suitable to be called a house.

Project Storyline
Level 3: The Forest
Story:
You are a well known treasure hunter and have finally located the area of which should contain 3 ancient coins.
You find yourself at the top of a hill looking down at a wide environment filled with trees and wildlife. You follow the path to find that you weren't the first to find its unique location, as metal looking cages scattered around the environment must have been placed by someone. You ignore the threat and decided to go ahead and find the coins. Your instincts kicks in which leads you to a large rock that has some signs of prototype drills and power cells. Reading the instructions you find that the drill should be in 3 parts and the cells required to power the drill would be 8.
Looking around the environment you are not in danger of dying however, due to its wide /darker environment it can be very time consuming and make you run out of time. You finally find the drill parts and the cells for which you place on a table targeting the rock. Once the drill was ready you press the on button and the drill is activated, a large beam of line comes from it and blows up the rock while not damaging anything else beside it. As you look to where the rock use to be you find that its a small sandy environment which contains a lot of chests and goods. You look through all the treasure to find all 3 glowing ancient coins which you place into your bag. As your about to leave you see that the things you thought were cages were actually Man-made hurricane controls which were activated as soon as you picked up the ruins
As the player you are given the choice to quickly run back to the start and save yourself from the hurricane that just appeared. Or to find a way to destroy it. The hurricane controllers are fragile and a simple touch and cause them to go on safe mode. For which when you go close to them a small green looking hurricane will appear and change the flames to green. You will have to find all the hurricane controllers and turn them all green in order to destroy the hurricane. Once the hurricane is destroyed you then must run back to the beginning in which you will see a gate, once you pass you have escaped.
Endings (Best to Worst)
You escaped and destroyed the hurricane
You escaped
You ran out of time and the security in the area find you
You are killed by the hurricane
