Description
Focuses on designing the player’s experience across space and time. Includes: level floor plans and 3D flow paths; alternating pacing between combat, puzzles, and exploration; implicit guidance in tutorial levels; boss fight phase design; density and guidance logic for open-world points of interest; and the balance between procedural generation rules and manual refinement. Deliverables: Level Design Document, white-box level files, pacing curve charts, and test feedback summaries. Emphasizes an “intuitive learning” design philosophy, minimizing UI reliance through environmental cues, camera language, and audio prompts.
