Video Game Level Design: How to Create Video Games with Emotion, Interaction, and Engagement (Required Reading Range) - Softcover
Book 44 of 44: Required Reading Range
Synopsis
Level designers build worlds, set missions, and lay irresistible paths to make sure we keep playing their games late into the night. It's a hugely competitive field, requiring both technical and artistic skill. Bringing together interaction, usability and experience design, this book shows how design principles can be used to plan maps, encourage narrative interaction and build worlds. 22 illustrated interviews and case studies show how these principles translate to real-world best practices for triple-A games through to low-budget indies. Throughout the book you will be guided through two level designs: one for the traditional 2D space and one for the 3D space. Each chapter will build on the prototype, until by the end of the book you'll be able to devise, plan and build your own engaging and entertaining level design.

Paperback. Condition: New. Level design connects the player to the game through challenges, experiences, and emotions. This book is an invaluable introduction to the evolving practices of Level Designers across the games industry. The increasingly complex role of the Level Designer requires technical and creative skill as it brings together architecture, art, player psychology, interaction design, usability, and experience design. This book explores in detail the principles designers employ when planning levels and building engaging spaces for the player. As well as practical approaches to level design, the book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the processes and charts a path towards thinking like a Level Designer. Throughout the book you will be guided through the fundamentals of level design: each chapter builds on the types of research, ideation, best practices, and methodologies Level Designers employ when creating prototypes and shipped games. A series of interviews with designers and case studies from game studios examine the application of industry-wide expertise used to create triple-A and indie game titles. By the end of this book you will have gained valuable insight into the role of a Level Designer and be able to devise, plan, and build your own engaging and entertaining game levels.
