Challenges in development

The level design introduced in "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories" created by Square Enix has heavily influenced the final design implementation of this work.

​

The idea was to recreate the concept of multiple levels, or rooms, existing in their own spaces and only being connected by lines on the map. Users can create the layout manually or autonomously by using the existing presets, and edit the landscape of each room/level through a set of toggleable and adjustable noise parameters.
