Level Design

Catalog description

Level design is all about crafting interactive, evocative digital spaces for entertainment games, serious and training games, and museum exhibits. A level designer is responsible for creating immersive gameplay experiences for players and designing how a player flows through a digital environment. Exploring principles from a variety of disciplines, ranging from game design to architecture and urban planning, this course teaches students how to design engaging gameplay experiences and provides students with a generalized level design toolkit usable in all game genres. Students finish the semester by putting theory into practice to design and build working prototype levels.
