Apex legends helped me in my previous blogs when it came to creating my character and starting to look into icon designs. However, the in game design of the battlefields in Apex has a sense of that I myself am trying to emulate and create.
arena
Unfortunately, due to Apex having no (at this time) esports, it’s hard to find a good image of an arena. This instead will be used as a place for me to write down my personal idea of the style of arena so that in my next Idea Development blog I am able to show hwo my research has changed and helped my choices. My initial idea is to have the large arena with the two plug in stations on either side for the teams that go into the middle battlefield as their Avatars.
broadcasting hud
In the Apex lore (story of the game in universe) it is said that they broadcast this similar to the way that they display the Hunger games. They allow these people to fight but in the arena is tons of cameras allowing for a reality like show to form for entertainment. While my world will be broadcasting over the world, I feel that due to its high action will require birdseye view similar to that of a football game. Having the multiple cameras similar to the Hunger games would be useless if the game ends after 180 minutes rather than the days that the HG takes.
banners
While the other points to Apex have been weak if non-existant. It is all in part to the heavy love that is displayed for the banner use within the worlds arena. Each player is given their own banner in a personal style, this is something that I have accomplished with the use of Icons. However, using these banners will allow me to show off the nations flag in a way that the flag couldn’t, it would also fit the futuristic feel against the olden flag style.
