Yh, always remember bigger does not mean better! I made a mistake let feature creep come in here! To just run from the start to the end (no gameplay) it takes 08:13. Ugh time to take out my leviathan axe & start making some cuts #Blocktober #leveldesign #UE5

New combat arena for my #blocktober #leveldesign, space is starting to feel a bit better and more space, with loops in the arena are coming along nicely. #UE5

Even if we create deadends for players #leveldesign we can make them worth their wild by offering:
- Views
- Enviro Storytelling
- Collectable
- Loot
each of these can still bring joy for their efforts and to help build our worlds #gamede #UE5

Amazing to see more of #MafiaTheOldCountry with its combat! Check it out here: youtu.be/o8KTlRzT-fM?...

Some snippets of #leveldesign #combat I worked on with the incredible team #Hangar13

Some great looking #architecture from the Barbican! Love the simiplicity of the shapes yet it has so much character. Incredible inspiration for #leveldesign #gamedev

A good tip with #leveldesign (Example #Expedtion33) is have a view point which allows players to see their route. It not only gives players a sense of direction/a goal to aim for, but also helps build a mental map #gamedev
