Incredible Blue Sky participation this year. As far as the tag #Blocktober goes there’s an huge amount more posts than last year, maybe more than other platforms too. 🧡 🎃

Hey all, as it's #Blocktober and nearly Halloween, thought I'd share a recent horror inspired #blockout I put together. Lots of environmental storytelling, atmosphere and unease in this one. More breakdown and link to the playable on the old blog if any one is interested: lnkd.in/eyMXavEq

Some screenshots from my first blockout of the Powerball level Playgrounds 🏗️ #gamedev #indiedev #blocktober #screenshotsaturday #blender3d

it's #blocktober so here's a 5cp map for TF2 i'm working on

Hi Friends! long time no see, I'm back in #Blocktober! with a blocking I made yesterday!🧱 It's a 1:1 scale of The Helm's Deep Fortress ⚔️! from Lord Of The Rings: The two towers :) Hope you enjoy it :D #levelDesign #LordOfTheRings

more level blockouts! #blocktober

Started a speedmodel process of the home island for one of my projects. Did about 8 minutes of CSG placement and got about 3 minutes out. Might want to do a full video if I end up doing a full level blockout. I'm still new to this so advice would be appreciated! #godot #blocktober

blocking out / outlining the level in cube grid in #UnrealEngine - I have a basic flow now but discovered some pacing where the beats I want the player to experience dont line up where I want them. also want to vary the elevation a bit #blocktober #gamedev

#Blocktober is in full swing! Here is some more pictures from my blockout piece I made for my portfolio :D Happy #blocktober! #gamedesign #leveldesign #ue5 #blockout #indie #gamedev

For the #blocktober, I'm participating in the Steve Lee LD Jam Here is a very, very early part of my level based on the theme "Escape" #leveldesign #gamejam

Some inspiration for #blocktober is the great series @DoubleFine has been putting out, breaking down their #leveldesign for the levels that did not make it #games youtu.be/6LEb285IA7c?...

Another #Blocktober Piece! 🤩 I present my level Chrome Cemetery! Happy Blocktober!! 💫 #indie #gamdesign #leveldesign #blockout #level #game #gamedev #indiegame #ue5 #unrealengine

Some #blocktober #leveldesing porgres shots as I have been making some updates to my #GodofWar level, we are getting closer to wrapping this up!!

Nice progress on the map and planning today. Still need to do the elevation pass. Just small elevation changes I think. I suppose a room or two could have a terrace but its mine tunnels mostly. Using @maxpears.bsky.social level design kit to help plan this out :) #blocktober #unrealengine

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!

Wrote another short devlog about our process for one of the levels! Super happy with how this area turned out ✨ #blocktober #leveldesign #indiedev #gamedev

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

#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

The #blocktober continue, and my Doom level too ! #leveldesign #gamedev

May the mighty #blocktober continue! Here's a Metro 2033 inspired blockout. My #leveldesign themes were decision points, combat & pacing and other good stuff like vantage points and environmental storytelling. More breakdown over here: timnewsome.me/level-design...

#blocktober I want to post some progress on how the Quake level in Unreal Engine is going. I have saw that the hard difficulty and tricky positioning of enemies was causing players to fail. Instead of giving up, they tried again. Now I want to experiment with creating a satisfying challenge.

Some screenshots 📸🌱 Will be doing a little playtest of this area with some friends later today. Can't wait to hear what they think! ✨ #blocktober #gamedev #indiedev #leveldesign

Been mucking about with a first person testbed in Godot because I am easily distracted. Knocked together a short level with oldschool DOOM slidey doors, since you'll spot issues in a more structured gameplay environment that aren't necessarily going to show up in a more open sandbox. #blocktober

I have released a portion of the presentation materials from the online seminar event "Level Designer's Matrix," hosted by CG WORLD and held on June 28, 2025 in Japan. Level Designers: The Diplomats of Game Development www.docswell.com/s/my_syumi_g... #GameDesign #GameDev #Blocktober

And some more progress shots for #blocktober! 📸 Having a lot of fun working on this project and seeing it slowly come together ✨🤖 #leveldesign #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

Just made some friends playtest this area so I figured I'd share a short snippet of the recording ✨🤖 #blocktober #prototyping #leveldesign #indiedev #gamedev

Initial stages of a layout for a sci-fi engineering level of a boomershooter, where the player must travel down the stages to decouple the reactor. Inspired by the Star Trek Watchtower class, Halos infamous library and the Gears four level In and Out. #Blocktober

Este año he estado bastante liado como para participar en el #blocktober pero hoy he pensado que no estaría de más hacer un nivel de Quake (vagamente) inspirado en una cárcel

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

Charlie and I wrote a whole series of blogs about prototypes for #blocktober. This one is more of an intro, and we have one for paper prototypes, wireframes, and greyboxes. #gamedev #indiedev

It’s great that I have finally something I can share for #Blocktober no longer under NDA. This is one of the (many) “beat’em up” coop prototypes I worked on at Tequila. It was a set of level tiles procedurally ensambled like Warframe youtu.be/4SmsGanQP-k?...

I have created a tutorial on how to best use the #leveldesign Kit, so you can get the best out of it & make some great updates for #blocktober Youtube: youtu.be/wAJ10nhsv9U?... Spotify: buff.ly/vDYLFLs Apple: buff.ly/vUzknsv #gamedev #UE5

Devblog number 3 is up! This time I’m diving into the process of figuring out the shape language and style for one of the areas in the game ✨ Check it out here: feebleminds.se/2025/10/15/d... #blocktober #indiedev #gamedev #soulslike #roguelike #3Dart #leveldesign

Happy #blocktober! This area was super fun to design 😎

Early wips that might give you some 𝐦𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝 feelings... #blocktober #leveldesign #quake #unreal

I finally have a playable version of my Doom level ! #blocktober #leveldesign #gamedev

Hard to believe we’re already halfway through #Blocktober! Here’s a personal #blockout project, Granger’s Point. Built in the amazing Hammer++ editor, focuses on designing a compact space that encourages player choice, varied playstyles & multiple routes. #LevelDesign timnewsome.me/level-design...

Here is my #blocktober '25 update. About half a dozen hours in so far as I was late starting. Looking forward to seeing what I can get done by the end of the month #leveldesign

#blocktober some basic city stuff that I might or might not need

Concept art vs game location #blocktober #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev

I updated my #blocktober project and published a playthrough on youtube if you want to check it. #leveldesign #gamedev youtu.be/LOUkT_V4mU8 drive.google.com/file/d/1Fvg-...

Added a final section to the garden area! 🌱 #blocktober #prototyping #leveldesign #indiedev #gamedev #ue5

Just wrapped up the blockout for my game Powerball 🥎 Built with @threejs.org + @fastapi.tiangolo.com 🚀 — runs in your browser, no installs. Still early & a bit rough, but I’d ❤️ your thoughts! 10 playtest slots open until 20:45 UTC 👀 www.stucki.cc/Powerball #blocktober #gamedev #indiedev #blender3d

Crisis of DreamCell's levels take on different iterations when designing and testing, take a look at the hospital wing at different stages in development. Hope you enjoy this look into the level design process! #screenshotsaturday #blocktober #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

The thing about making spiral staircases in Trenchbroom is that it is literally always fun. and yeah sure I'll stick a #blocktober on this. even though I didn't know about that and me deciding to do quake mapping again happening in October is just kind of serendipity

I'm helping with level design on @sleightofhand.game ... the idea of this stealthy trainyard map is to contrast compact metro stations vs. long train tunnels vs. platforms where you duck into / beneath carriages #blocktober

Some #Blocktober progress I’ve been focusing more on pacing & exploring lightweight, storytelling techniques that work well on mobile. The goal is to keep everything diegetic, letting the environment communicate the story rather than relying on cutscenes or UI #leveldesign
