Starting to learn #leveldesign can be difficult. I'll try to make it easier!

For #leveldesigners that want to build fully playable adventure game style levels in #unrealengine:

⏯️Check out my new #leveldesign video tutorial on the Adventure Game Locomotion System by Jakub W.

New video!

More and more #leveldesigners use the Adventure Game Locomotion System by Jakub W.

I investigated the project to see what it has to offer.
What do you think about AGLS?

Take a look at my new #leveldesign #blockout (gameplay footage) in the style of #control by @remedygames

Not wanting to make just a static blockout I may have gone a tad overboard with scripting all the gameplay mechanics 😅

Let me know what you think! ❤️

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

@MaxPears Awesome, and it'll definitely be useful for people!
If you'd like feedback at any point, I'd be happy to test it :)

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

@MaxPears Ooh, are you by any chance setting up a UE5 project with basic functionality & blueprints that people can use to build blockouts with? 👀

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

@MaxPears Thanks for the shoutout Max ❤️
I hope you're well :)

😊Thank you so much @ubisoft Anecy sending me this wonderful #starwars #Outlaws release package, despite me having to leave just before launch.

And thanks to everyone I had a chance to work with and get to know over the past few years. I miss you all ❤️

Hi (aspiring) Level Designers! In my new Level Design lesson, we're looking at level blockouts! We'll discuss what their function is and how to get started with them and getting over the initial blank canvas problem!

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

@CJSharkey909 Haven't heard "extra level sprinkles" before, but it does sound cute 😁

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

Fellow level designers. What would you call interactive ingredients within your levels? E.g., openable doors, launch pads, grapplehook attachment spots, buttons, pushable blocks for puzzles etc.

At Ubi we call them 'level design ingredients'. Do you have another name for them?

[timdoesleveldesign @TimLevelDesign]

@mistiare_dev I've definitely called them gameplay objects before as well! It's a pretty clear and descriptive term I think
