Deciding upon a location/Environment

Deciding on a relevant environment is quite important because when it comes to making the game, everything has to be concise and fits in the chosen era. So I am going to jott down several ideas that I think could work and be interesting, I am then going to narrow down the options and decide on a final environment that works best.

      Environments to work from.

• Industrial
• Winter                                                            
• Summer
• Countryside/Valleys 
• Mountains
• Spring
• Desert
• Forest
• Desolate
• Urban
• Lakes

      Landmarks that could be used.

• Farms
• Villages
• Castles
• Industrial (Factories, Mines, Powerplants)
• Docks
• Cities
• Bridges                                          
• Viaducts
• Quarries
• Caves/Coves
• Sea
• Statues
• Beach                                                          
• Fields
• Rivers
• Streams
• Waterfalls
• Roads
• Cliffs
• Volcano's

      Weather conditions

• Rain
• Sun
• Snow
• Thunder Storms
• Dust Storms                                                  
• Clear Skies 
• Stormy Skies
• Polluted Skies
• Rainbows 
• Mist/Fog

Using some of the ideas above, i'm going to combine them together and hopefully come up with an interesting outcome. I have a brief idea on what I want it to look like but i'm using this method to help generate more ideas. Once i've listed what I want in my environment, I can go ahead and start sketching out some concepts.
