Written by an AAA industry expert with over 20 years of experience, this book offers comprehensive coverage of the practical skills that all successful level designers need to have. It covers everything from practical production skills to the social and soft skills required to thrive in the gaming industry. This book begins with a theoretical and abstract approach that sets a common language for the later hard-skill applications and practical examples. These later chapters cover a wealth of practical skills for use during the concept phase, while creating layouts, scripting, and working with AI. This book includes essential chapters on topics such as social skills, soft skills, world-building, level design direction, production, as well as how to gain employment in the industry. Any type of text-based scripting or, generally speaking, programming is a realistic possibility for any designer. Lua, C++, and C# are just common examples for bigger gaming engines like Unity, Unreal, or CryEngine. Also, languages like jаvascript can act as a quick prototyping tool.
