How technical does a Level Designer need to be? I asked Max Pears, stevelee on bluesky, and William Josephy what "technical" means to them in a #leveldesign context. What do you think? youtu.be/-u6O41sG1hU?si…

Locks & Keys are everywhere in games, but not always literally. What are good and bad practices to employ the #lockandkey design pattern in #leveldesign? Check out my new video on the topic! youtu.be/wW0O3YK2dpo?si…

Fellow level designers. What would you call interactive ingredients within your levels? E.g., openable doors, launch pads, grapplehook attachment spots, buttons, pushable blocks for puzzles etc. At Ubi we call them 'level design ingredients'. Do you have another name for them?

😊Thank you so much Ubisoft Anecy sending me this wonderful #starwars #Outlaws release package, despite me having to leave just before launch. And thanks to everyone I had a chance to work with and get to know over the past few years. I miss you all ❤️

Take a look at my new #leveldesign #blockout (gameplay footage) in the style of #control by Remedy Entertainment 🎂 #RMD30 Not wanting to make just a static blockout I may have gone a tad overboard with scripting all the gameplay mechanics 😅 Let me know what you think! ❤️

New video! More and more #leveldesigners use the Adventure Game Locomotion System by Jakub W. I investigated the project to see what it has to offer. What do you think about AGLS? youtu.be/t3zxhOGAeno #gameindustry #videogames #leveldesign
