Create a sketch for the island we will be using in the game. The island should be fairly small - about a few football fields at most. The smaller the better. Just make the paths very winding. Feel free to add cliffs, dense forests, and rivers to justify the winding trail. There should be a monument in the middle to represent the heart of the island. Add monuments in points of interest to act as landmarks for the player.
Optional: Have the schematics for a cave system which is also supposed to be winding and fraught with dead ends. The diameter for the caves should be about 7 or 8 feet.
Feel free to base the design off of real-world areas. It will make references much easier.
Try to keep things small and not too detailed - you will later have to make a model for everything!
