A continuation on my Gestalt research & how it can help World Building. Rearranging objects to create different feelings.
Building Worlds is a team effort as always! ❤️
But this mainly focused on #leveldesign & #gameart

1st up is designing for speed!
This is a thread 🧵1/9
This thread focus on the Gestalt principle of "Prägnanz" or "Good Gestalt". Meaning that individual object should be arranged so that they together become ordered and create meaning.

Here we arrange objects to try to create the emotion of Caution!
🧵2/9
And now we rearrange the objects to try to spark curiosity!

Occluders! 🧱
Breaking sightlines. Better post this before this old #leveldesign trick becomes redundant due to performance no longer being an issue 😅

Kidding!
Breaking sightlines will forever be important when World Building! ImageImageImageImage
There was some healthy discourse around the notion of using occluders for performance in modern games.

It is still very relevant due to the vast number of machines that we deliver games to...

🧵2/5
My examples are purposely simplified and brings thoughts to old CS and Quake maps. But the technique is used in many many modern games in various forms and shapes (mountain ridges, canyons, cityblocks, etc)

A thread 🧵
Avoiding bad tangents in composition.
Important for #gameart and our Environment Artists.

But also important for us #leveldesign:ers to understand and to avoid!
1/7 Image
2/7
Obviously really hard (impossible!) to avoid tangents in all situations. But sometimes we know exactly where the player stands! Image
3/7
Tangents is an unfortunate wording.. 🙁
Often confused with the math counterpart... Image

Player Paths! there is a lot of them 😍
This is a thread about #leveldesign primarily, but also #gameart and some #gamedev fundamentals i guess..

1/9 😘
2/9
yes yes, I have been tweeting about paths before
But this is another deep-dive of sorts..

And I have revisioned it since last time. So that old one is obsolete 😅
3/9
Composition.. as much #gameart as it is #leveldesign
