Gamasutra - Level Design

Post by Jimmyjay86 »

This is an article from Gamasutra about level design taking Fallout Tactics as an example. I thought it might be interesting for you guys to read.

Thanks. I read this quite some time ago.

I though it was tragic that Mr. Beram had to cloak what amounts to basic info w/diction like, "...within the game's reality, adding further functionality and especially interactivity to a location." You know the old saying: "If you can't impress them with intelligence, baffle them w/bullshit."

Cheers,

Well it reads like a doctoral thesis. But I think if you are able to decipher the basics of what he is getting at, there is some useful information there.

I was reading it a long time ago, when starting with my old campaign, but don't think there is something in one can figure out by himself. Could save time for some though.
