I want to make a proper article of this, but I thought I'll give it to you guys first and see if there are some insight/reflections/additional things that come up!

😍
As promised. here is the twitter thread but as an article!
this will also be a little bit like a soft launch for my
not-yet-finished homepage. 😅

#leveldesign tip of the day! 😽
PROCESS!!!
internet: "say what?? boooring!!
me: I've added colors!
internet: you're wrong! It's called Greybox/blockmesh/Whiteblock/Shell/Construct 😡
me: Can't we all just be friends and unite on ONE term.. this is confusing! 😅
(thread for depth)
Step 1
the Ideation phase. A rough sketch of your overview is super important to get going for you and your team. Be quick on your feet! Be prepared to start designing immediately on the whiteboard before the meeting is even over!
We sometimes call this first sketch the "Parti" [Par-tee] (it's french) and is roughly "the Soul of the Creation"..

tip: give it a name.. It is your baby and you will work with it for a long time! lvl03.225 isn't that sexy..

thread 1/7
Overviews! I love them but they quickly fall out of grace in the fast iterations of #gamedevelopment
This is a slightly pimped #overview of a level I'm currently making together with my #leveldesign students.
thread 2/7
these are my thoughts about overviews; they are super important in the beginning of a project when trying to find the right path and communicating you #leveldesign ideas to your team.
thread 3/7
In #gamedev the game is god. therefore all documentation including LDD:s are living documents in the beginning but tend to fall of the grid later in the production. I use overviews to fast forward my own designs in the alpha-stage of the production.
