Week 4 and 5, Security systems online

Hello again!
Due to sickness and a full schedual outside of the production phase i´ve decided to incorperate these two weeks with each other.
With the level boxed out and the core mechanics in place we needed to create some conflict. So a threat is added in the form of a security system.
When trying to come up with a design for the security system there were three features that were important for the main function of the system.

BGP: Refracted Fate – Player Tracking

Fjärde, veckan av utvecklingen, The Summoning

Var tvungen att fortsätta att arbeta på vägarana i början av veckan för det var fortfarande några fel som uppstod med “förhandsgranskning” mot vad som placerades ut då det ena är en utdragen och den andra är flera delar.
