hey friends, to celebrate #blocktober i have made a longform tutorial for ProBuilder in Unity it's a tool i've used for blockout a LOT over the last 5 years and have found other 'over the shoulder' style tutorial vids helpful myself, so maybe this will help some budding #leveldesign'er :)

Translifeline TDOR: Blockout was fun and it was cool to basically make these sections off @softlysteph.bsky.social 's area sketch and how I can make winding forest walking paths to each location and keep people exploring. Also its based in my home beach in Oregon <3 #blocktober #gamedev

Work in progress on Level Design and Level art for my sci-fi utopian video game ! #blocktober #leveldesign #indiegame #gamedev

A character is near a bed in a bedroom. Books are on a shelf next to the bed. In a dialogue box on the right it says: FUTON BED - A futon bed, it's rather mismatched.

#blocktober kinda snuck up on me this year, so todays project is an upcoming encounter scenario for my dnd campaign in @talespire.com! By far the best vtt for capturing the diorama feel that is a core part of ttrpgs imo. #leveldesign #gamedesign #dnd #ttrpg

#Blocktober Let's get this blockout month started! I want to show the onboarding section from the 3D point-and-click game "It's Not You It's Us" that I worked on in spring this year. I wanted to teach the player here that they can push cars, so I put some in the disabled spot.

A fun part of development on Highguard was building bases. They were relatively quick to stand up and could support a lot of personality in the theme and gameplay. Here's an early one I made as we were figuring out the gameplay needs and metrics. Not our concept art. This didn't ship. #blocktober

Hey all, as it's #Blocktober and nearly Halloween, thought I'd share a recent horror inspired #blockout I put together. Lots of environmental storytelling, atmosphere and unease in this one. More breakdown and link to the playable on the old blog if any one is interested: lnkd.in/eyMXavEq

Started a speedmodel process of the home island for one of my projects. Did about 8 minutes of CSG placement and got about 3 minutes out. Might want to do a full video if I end up doing a full level blockout. I'm still new to this so advice would be appreciated! #godot #blocktober

blocking out / outlining the level in cube grid in #UnrealEngine - I have a basic flow now but discovered some pacing where the beats I want the player to experience dont line up where I want them. also want to vary the elevation a bit #blocktober #gamedev

An overview of my mine blockout in greybox

An fps view of the block out which is just the floor layout no walls. Trying to pace out the basic layout of the map. Some place holder icons are in certain rooms to indicate locked doors and key locations and enemies.

a screenshot of the first prototype look dev level I did. the flow is not great in the is mockup but the basic ideas were in place.

Nice progress on the map and planning today. Still need to do the elevation pass. Just small elevation changes I think. I suppose a room or two could have a terrace but its mine tunnels mostly. Using @maxpears.bsky.social level design kit to help plan this out :) #blocktober #unrealengine

#blocktober I want to post some progress on how the Quake level in Unreal Engine is going. I have saw that the hard difficulty and tricky positioning of enemies was causing players to fail. Instead of giving up, they tried again. Now I want to experiment with creating a satisfying challenge.

Been mucking about with a first person testbed in Godot because I am easily distracted. Knocked together a short level with oldschool DOOM slidey doors, since you'll spot issues in a more structured gameplay environment that aren't necessarily going to show up in a more open sandbox. #blocktober

Initial stages of a layout for a sci-fi engineering level of a boomershooter, where the player must travel down the stages to decouple the reactor. Inspired by the Star Trek Watchtower class, Halos infamous library and the Gears four level In and Out. #Blocktober
