A story is the telling of events with emotional tension.

How would you put it?

To promise an adventure game is to promise stories.

If your game experience is an adventure, consider which stories players will remember, recount, share, and look forward to tomorrow.

Finally, I've greyboxed about 5% of my open world map!

5! 😄...

10 weeks is an impressive time in solo game dev. Keep up the good work! 🎂😁

Explore the new updates to the Game Animation Sample Project in UE 5.5 The Game Animation Sample Project has been updated with over 300 animations, a new Experimental setup for improved artist control, networked setups for multiplayer, mobile support—and more!

I foresee a new wave of level design blockouts now that Epic Games has updated their popular Game Animation Sample project 👌

Enjoy my latest #LevelDesign blockout in-progress 🖌

Will do!
I hope to see your work too soon 👏

The fact that you can do all that storytelling with just your blockouts is amazing. I look forward to seeing and learning more!

That dive looks super satisfying!👌

I love how it looks!

✍️Sketching an open world map for a future blockout.

It's not to scale,
lacks explicit gameplay zones,
is unfinished,
but my design compass feels right.

Expect more iterations in the future!

Finishing an area as large as this is a lot of work! 👏 How did you manage to monitor the scope of the level?

This is a great source of inspiration for level design, thanks for sharing!

I like how the designs already write a little story about the characters, even though I have never played the story they belong to!

Perfect timing!
I just started working on an open world blockout☺️👌

UnrealEngine - Twitch Exploring Project Titan | Inside Unreal

#UnrealEngine is live 🔥right now!🔥 showing their Open World "Project Titan" built by 4 thousand people!

While it's live view here: www.twitch.tv/unrealengine

Though lacking in gameplay loops, it's sheer size and gameplay potential makes anyone in #LevelDesign like myself excited to work with it!

Picture of my wonderful audience and I at the end of my talk on open world level design.

Tuesday I gave my first talk about open world design at the Arcade Hotel Amsterdam.

As amazing as it was, the bigger win for me personally was discovering my own methods and identity as a creative; what's my goal, how badly do I want it?

Doubt is heavy, but I know how to fight.

Good luck to you 🍀

This looks so good! It's not 'just a food prop'; your work shows personality 👌

Thank you for being there! 😁
