Awesome video what font did u use for the thumbnail?

[@ranina.ultradream30]

I appreciate the content of the video and the tips for designing engaging levels. For improvement, I suggest using examples that are in the same genre. Fortnite Island is an open world environment, while most of the examples is the video like Mario or Sonic are linear games. The way designers convey information to the player in a linear game is way different than an open world game.

Absolute awesome essay, i used to draw levels and obstacles based off of Mario and dk country. This was several years ago 😅

[@Big-BeanZz]

Great video I loved it! Really just wanted to let you know you were my inspiration and you inspired me to create as much as I do! But I really do hope you see this so you know you mean a lot to everyone who watches you! 👍😊

[@BaykaScott]

This sums up every complaint I've had with tons of Fortnite Creative maps really well! This is such a useful video and I think everyone who wants to be a game dev, regardless of if its Fortnite or not should watch this!

[@jakusidk]

Thank you!!

[@SGTNicky]

absolute W explanation video, level design is an amazing way to capture your feelings, thought processes and concepts into a game that is made by none other than the user. Hell, i'd declare it a form of art haha!

[@jakusidk]

Level design is one of the most underrated art forms. It's something I've studied off-and-on for years now, happy to finally share my thoughts and feelings in this video :)
