@AaronWStump i just found myself doing it. naturally. always been fascinated about worlds, in whatever context. my initial spark of love for level design came with Half-Life and Quake 2. i made a lot of maps and immersed myself completely in the world of level design. no plan, just pure joy.

@notimetoulose if you love LD, always do it! 😍 as with anything, dont bring your problems into it. let go.. dont mind the mind.. and just create whatever decides to come through. LD can be a wonderful relief when life is rough, but it shouldn't be an avoidance from life.

@HaynesPaul were there thoughts/discussions about what the map would be centered around; airport vs plane crash? if so, how did that shape the way you worked with the level for things like mood/callout-areas/layout/gameplay/art-pass?

[David Lundvall @WizardExt]

@HaynesPaul thanks for the level design dev story. interesting to see how the original idea of a crashed plane remained and hear how you worked with it. good job!🙂

@chow_land i love these mate! i had many projects start from a spark of inspiration from an existing level; a feeling embedded into an environment and a sensation of wanting to further creatively explore that. it starts from there, but soon becomes its own thing.
