8:30 I really dislike the philosophy that you should be able to complete each part of a game with the minimum loadout. Knowing that I could do it without all my gadgets make the gadgets feel pointless or like a handicap. I would also appreciate if games tested the player not just on the basics on their use of the more advanced tools as well.

We all have a pinky in our friends group, sometimes that pinky is you

Help, I've googled and played counter strike and now I'm addicted to gambling

this is incredibly helpful for the game i'm making, i feel like you saved me a month of development time. especially the onion/lasagna thing

10:53 i don't think i've ever enjoyed a stealth segment in a game that's not primarily about stealth

I really liked this presentation

Amazing

Awesome video

this is a really good video.

Good 👍👍😊😊

It aged quite badly, but it's a cool video nonetheless

Ha ha, the mixing on this video is so much louder than the last one. Made me jump

Amazing video!

What a wonderful video! Completely timeless.

I bought your book and it's very helpful, especially to those without game development experience.

Wohoo. That's what i was looking for

Its time to install Dishonored again.

Need to play Blacklist and see if the design-rules are really implemented there.

I made a map in Hammer and now players complain that it is too big, there are too many options and it is maze-like.

COD MULTIPLAYER IS SHIT CAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME GAME MODES FOR MAORE THAN A DECADE WITH THE SAME MAPS.

Very interesting, the level design is more complex than I imagined for this aspect. To show your drawings so well on video, what tools do you use? It would be useful for me to show concepts in that way too.

Damn, that was a really informative video! Definitely going to use these tips in my game :D

Yep I know it is 6 years old video but dude majority of players don't play like that especially against AI. Maybe some 40+ years old boomers. Btw nearly each coop game shows your friend's name/indicator through walls or on mini map, so finding each other is not an issue at all. This kind of level design is good for tactical shooter like Arma/EFT or in battle royales where you need to communicate enemy positions (or just ping them lol). In coop shooters effective communication doesn't matter, you go head-on into the fight we friends having fun.

NICE THANKS YOU I BUY directly ! version french translate ???

Juste impressive, really thanks you ! ;)

Muito bom, obrigado 😊

been playing blacklist for the past few days, and I have seen every example solution in place

Great work, love the simple illustrations!

why most of midlanes and long lanes in cs doesnt have any cover. Is taht a timing thing? Or utility think such as flashes or smokes

Awesome guide to stealth level design!

What does the GTFO option mean?

A great watch! Thanks for sharing :)

So is it good practice to balanced flow vs options depending on the type of experience you want for that section of the level? But is ultimately better if you can get both the intended flow (slow or fast) and a greater amount of options for player(within reasonable limitations)? For example: A) For a more fast paced hallway, a smoother flow will be more improtant than having more options? players will move quickly from cover to cover and get trough the section quickly having "less time" to get bored or frustrated due to the lack of options? B) For a more slow paced hallway, maybe a stealth or player's planning requiring section, it is okay to give player more options at the expenses of a smoother flow of the section(in reasonable amount)? resulting in a slower cover to cover flow from player, but also a more calculated and strategic flow with more options so player won't get bored(repetitive defense) or frustrated(predictable offense)?

I didn't really get the reasoning behind designing the frequency and rythm of an "intersection"(moment for player to make a meaningful choice on where to go and why?). So basically each intersection should have options each with its own pacing, pro and cons that players will learn over multiple playtrought of the map? Since that if all intersection are the same then making a choice wouldn't really matter (unless you add the enemy player variable)?

So glad I found this

Дякую за відео. Часто розумієш підсвідомо принципи, та як краще зробити, але для початківців ці поради дуже корисні.

Your vids are so educational :))

Damn you designed Far Cry 1?? Impressive

Best video on this subject on UA-cam

Looks awesome, definitely gonna read it. Is the book suitable for reading on kindle or is it better to choose the paper version in color?

As someone who’s majoring in game design in college, this is really helpful!

SSSSOOOO Useful.

Thats amazing!! <3 <3

I just got my copy. Thank you for the valuable insights and a practical guide to what seems like a "dark art."

Man this book is a literal gold mine, I am gonna recommend it to my friends, if it gets popular enough, it will achieve the status of "the bible" of level design!

Thx, that helped me pretty much

My copy just arrived. Can't wait to read this today during some down time 👍

Just bought the books, excited to see all those many categories in the books that I can learn. Thought it might be very useful for me starting as a level designer. Much love!

I'll do my best to convey my gratitude here.... It's videos like this that help the evolution of Level Design as a whole! I've watched hundreds of videos, absorbing every detail I can, and this is by far the single most useful video I've come across. Specific examples from industry leaders are hard to come by, and I can't thank you enough. Really looking forward to more content, especially more about level design. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

It's super, I want to read it!
