Below i have given some bullet points of what i will be covering in my final key assignment. I have created this so i can get an idea on what elements of the concept i need to emphasise on.

Contextual Gameplay

• War betweeen worlds
• Corrupt worlds

• Peaceful scenery at the beginning morphing into a more sincere environment
