Greetings All blessings for the New Year. Here are two really good articles on level design, I have not read them in their entirety, but a brief scan makes them jewels...enjoy... I included an excerpt from it as well. There are links for level 1 and level 2.
"This article is the first of a two-part series covering theories behind level design, establishing some rules for level creation. The intention is to aid those new to the field who want to design levels for pleasure or pursue a career in level design."
These are indeed nice articles. I can't get rid of the feeling that all I did before, was nothing but mere preparation and not an organized level building!
I am excited to implement the aspects that I have read as well. I am glad to hear that we are approaching our game design with an interest to develop our skills to make game development a beautiful scientific art which I think it is. Keep up the good learning Pappenheimer!
