Yes, good luck with AI finding the fun! Great article from Jason.

Wild what Ubisoft Games is doing, ranking their studios.. This won't help team morale in an already uncertain time with layoffs, cancellations and RTO. I feel sorry for the developers there that somehow need to stay creative in all of this.

I still see a lot of game devs building the tutorial as the very first level. It's in most cases better to create it as one of the last. You only really know what the player needs to learn once the game has taken shape, and tutorials tend to break the moment features change or get cut. #leveldesign

Alright gang, there's a Senior Level Designer opening on my team. You know the drill. 👇 Please pass this along and AMA* jobs.zenimax.com/requisitions...

The last playtests show that my #blocktober level has guidance issues. To fix it, I used the enemies' movements, lights, and framing. I'm looking forward to seeing if it's enough. #leveldesign #gamedev

Blockout Challenge part2 Completed! 🎉 Make a Blockout in 3 hours! ⏰ Here is some in engine pics! More pics coming! 🤩 Whole process has been recorded and will be shown on YouTube soon! Happy #Blocktober!! 💫 #indie #gamdesign #leveldesign #blockout #game #gamedev #indiegame #ue5 #unrealengine

New day = new room for my #blocktober level #leveldesign #gamedev

#Blocktober Piece! 🤩 More pictures from my level Chrome Cemetery! Happy Blocktober!! 💫 #indie #gamdesign #leveldesign #blockout #level #game #gamedev #indiegame #ue5 #unrealengine

#Blocktober is in full swing so time to show a few progress shots from a fun side project I'm working on! Very happy with this garden section so far 🌱✨ #gamedev #indiedev #leveldesign

To celebrate #Blocktober here’s a side project I worked on not too long ago! Not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but had a blast making it :) I also love experimenting with new tools for side projects, for this one I used @maxpears.bsky.social LD-KIT and really enjoyed working with it!

So glad we are kicking these off - and would you believe it: our #leveldesign blog actually has before-and-after sliders! We're in the big leagues now. 🥳 #THEFINALS #Iteration #blocktober #gamedev www.reachthefinals.com/patchnotes/a...

more level blockouts! #blocktober

If you think you know how a game was made because of an article/interview/documentary with the studio or execs... You don't. The bigger the studio, the more likely the truth has been distorted/sanitized. If you want the truth, talk to devs. In private. #gamedev

Happy #Blocktober! It's been a while since I've done something so I decided to write another blog about #LevelDesign. medium.com/@arnaldo42/l...

What’s up Bluesky, it’s almost time for #Blocktober! Last year was the first year we saw proper activity on bsky, here’s hoping for even more this year!

Really liking the new First Person template in UE5! But just a heads-up, there’s a bug in Unreal 5.6.1 where the arena shooter doesn’t load the correct Blueprints by default. Check my image for the right settings for BP_FirstPersonGameMode. #gamedev #ue5

Pro tip: Don’t run into a firefight before reloading, as my fellow tester found out this morning!

If you're in Calgary and want to learn about the Level Design Feedback Cycle, join Tatiana and me for our panel at the monthly CGDA meetup! We'll be starting the presentation around 7 PM. #leveldesign #gamedev

Today I released Scythe 0.4.0 which brings Hotspots to Unreal 5.5: 🧵(1/9)

I had a great time working on this map "Forest" with an amazing team! Excited for it to go public tomorrow with the Insurgency: Sandstorm update! #leveldesign

Quick tip for UE4/UE5: Use Simulate Physics + Simulate Mode to place props more realistically and efficiently. Let them drop into place, then copy/paste them into your level. Just don’t forget to turn off Simulate Physics and reset Collision Presets when you're happy with the result! #leveldesign

Wow this is so cool!

I was talking to another level designer and heard again that #leveldesign is seen as the underdog, like anyone can make levels. But here’s the thing: everything happens in a level! It’s where gameplay and art come together. If it’s not up to standard, neither will reach their full potential #gamedev

Welp, I’m joining the crowd and looking for new work! If you know of any team needing someone with over a decade of experience in #LevelDesign, #EncounterDesign, #MissionDesign, or #WorldDesign and #ActivityDesign, please let me know! www.JayceDiaz.com

I’m excited to announce that due to popular demand, we will release the full animatic of Flow aka Float aka the Crazy Frog Edition. Instead of using storyboards, all the scenes are designed directly in 3D. Everything was made in Blender and rendered in EEVEE.

So much disrespect toward President Zelenskyy and a country fighting for its very existence. Disgusting behavior and public bullying. 🤮

EA deploys Command & Conquer games' source code to the masses

Hi Bluesky! I kicked that other platform to the curb because it goes against everything I stand for. Looking forward to sharing my work here and checking out all the amazing things this community is creating and sharing! #leveldesign #gamedev
