So far so good! I would consider using Godot as a follow-along tutorial next time, as it is lightweight and can run on a potato. Though, I'm sure you've chosen Unreal as it's the most familiar to you, and the knowledge is practically transferable to any engine. This is great information!

@whynotanyting Heh yeah it's mostly due to my own familiarity. But also Unity or Unreal seemed like the obvious choice as they are the most commonly used engines knowledge is appreciated in when looking for a level design job.

When working one games like this, you could split the dressing folder up into foreground and background. That should be easy to manage.

Level editing is an underappreciated Art... back in 2004 when you wanted to get a Job as a "Game Designer" it was kinda implied that what you really meant is you wanted to be a professional level editor and you had some talent for making levels in whatever level editing software your engine used... can't help but feel the industry took a wrong turn at some point... now "Game Designer" implies you're basically a junior level programmer and you're level design skill can be non-existent. Gone are the days of "level design" competitions and dedicated level design software, only kept alive by niche gaming communities and Indy Devs... can't help but feel gaming needs to get back to it's roots and revive the idea of "game designers" being dedicated level designers first and programmers 2nd...

I remember, when I was in college we use to have exchange program for student, these student were domestic and internationally, especially when we use to meet a female student, we as a senior and native to the state use to tell them which area is safe and which are not. So if someone is telling that women are not safe in India is not fully wrong and not fully right I believe

Love the content! Please keep doing these videos we really need level design content like this! I also love that you mention structuring your map and keeping it clean with folders. I always love any Person on my team that does this right from the beginning because it is SO beneficial later on! Do you have any Addition Tricks in ue5 for upping the Felder game? I also love the ability to multi name certain files etc. But there ue5 doesn't seem to have a great function like a classic "Rename only a keyword of multiple selected actors".

@CrazyFist89 Thanks! Well, regardless of engine, I'd recommend setting up a standard folder structure and naming convention across all levels in your project. This way, other people can navigate your content without issue. Handy in case of handovers, or when anyone needs to hop in and fix bugs or add other content.

Yes please co tinder this series and perhaps talk about how we can expand on this demo to make a full game. Maybe talk a bit about multiplayer replication and build a demo level that showcases how 2 players could be great in a level and how to structure the levels differently and why, for 2 players. I love this series thank you. Will be working off this for my own game idea I've had for some time and didn't know how to start. Thank you!

Great video !! 😊 I have a questions. Sometimes when i design a plateform combination, it is often possible to bypass my original idea with a movement sequence that i feel would be less rewarding or fun for the player. In those situations, i often wants to puts things like coin to pickup to encourage the player toward my original idea. I don't know if it is a good thing, i feel it is not really elegant and it doesn't fix the flaws of my plateform combinations. i hope what i said was clear 🤖 What do you think about it ?
@timdoesleveldesign
@timdoesleveldesign Ай бұрын
@tristandebeaune6936 If the solution to bypass the challenge is quite obvious/easy, I think it's often best to change your setup to prevent those solutions. E.g. use spikes to block some paths, use the ice blocks to prevent infinite wall climbing, use the collapsing platforms as one-way gates, change your blockout dimensions and layout to prevent certain stuff etc. But in some cases, if the alternative solution is difficult to do or figure out, it can't hurt to incorporate them if it makes the player feel clever

This series is very fun to follow ! great job ! For the LDIs combinations, I used the timed gem gate and some breakable walls. To give feedback, I think the breakable wall would be better if the collision with the player are disabled when it is broken. Because with timed gem the player needs to go fast and the broken wall slows him down and makes the mouvements quite random. Again following the series il a real pleasure thanks for the work !!

@@tristandebeaune6936 Thanks! Good point regarding the collision. If you're a little bit familiar with Unreal Engine Blueprints, you could do the following: -Open up the breakable wall blueprint -Open up the "Hit" function -After "add impulse" add a "set collision respone to channel", target pawn, new response ignore -plug the reference to all the wall piece static mesh components I suspect that'll do the job, but haven't tested it yet 😁

Also, make sure to synchronize the movement of enemies properly. If there is a group of 3 enemies and the first one completes a cycle in 11 seconds, the second in 13 seconds, and the third in 17 seconds, it will take more than 40 minutes for them to return to their initial state. This can cause your intended solution to stop working if the player waits too long and causes the patterns to desync.
