Celeste's dialogue design is the #1 most-asked-about topic when it comes to the game's sound. I figured I'd share some of how we went about creating it.

Game design is answering questions all the time.

When I was much younger than now I thought that one day I was going to be the lead game designer of a game and have all my s* together.

Today, I'm a lead game designer and I have some s* together but I still need to research and learn for doing my job well.

✨Game Design Advice ✨

When starting a project, thinking about the pillars of your game design spares you lots of frustration and helps you to figure out A LOT for the time to come.

They can be 4/5 things that you want to put as "ingredients" in your game. 😊

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!

[Katie Chironis @kchironis]

talking w/ a friend tonight about our first games internships, and how terrified we were to seem clueless. as a more experienced dev, i know now: it is expected that interns have no idea what they're doing. in fact, pretending you DO know is the silly part. just ask for help.

[Game Development Students Association @OT_GDSA]

Last Friday we held our first ever virtual GameCon and it was a complete success!

We held a livestream for 6 hours straight packed with interviews, awards, and showcasing student games.

With 669 unique viewers and 1513 live views it was the most successful event of the year! 🏆

Hi! My name is not @the_Norberg, but I have some #leveldesign tips to share in a thread.
Those practices help me to build better levels from the scratch no matter of a genre or a scale. Hope other #gamedev folks will find them useful🙂

[Game Development Students Association @OT_GDSA]

This year at GameCon we will be showcasing over 35 games created by the Game Development and Entrepreneurship students!

These games have been developed over 4-8 months and are absolutely amazing!

Be sure to check our website where all the game will be shown, link coming soon👀

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

@Atiya_Nova Exciting!!!!

[Tommy Norberg @the_Norberg]

#leveldesign tip of the day! 🙂🙃
Corners!
We want to break sightlines as often as possible, therefore ALL corners are inherently for a good cause, But corners can also create a great deal of confusion and mess with the mental map of the player. We need them. We love them.❤️

#leveldesign tip of the day! STAIRS 🪜
