How To Fail At Level Design

Almost every game needs level design, so it's time to learn how to be really really bad at it. No more of this pretty decent level design stuff. No. I'll show you the way...

A good idea in platformers is to introduce obstacles in an unsafe environment, far from a checkpoint! It's a great idea to make sure if the player doesn't already know the complex workings of a stage gimmick, they must go really far back just to get another try to figure it out. Bonus points if your game has limited lives, so if they just don't figure out the gimmick within their few lives, they game over!

[@geothepoly]

Remember that the key to a well paced level is to have as many slow moving platforms and other mechanics that involve waiting. That means the level is longer, and that's always a good thing!

[@Plide]

Good idea! For added effect, make sure the slow moving platform sections are the only way between key areas you'll visit a lot! Another great thing to do is to AVOID placing checkpoints near these sections! Make sure the player will have to redo these slow obstacles every time they fail, just to get another shot at what's ahead!

[@Artindi]

Excellent ideas! :D

Also: autoscroller!

I actually have a revolutionary new technique for my newest game, instead of putting a quest marker and yellow paint to show the player where they need to go there's an auto-play button and it plays the game for them! I know it's very avant-garde so to prevent the existential horror of a total paradigm shift, I'm thinking of having an optional feature to turn the yellow paint on anyway, just so the player doesn't get a heart attack when they notice it's not there.

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

If your player gets a heart attack, it's their fault. They should get good (at having proper cardiovascular functions)

A great tip is to also add collectibles inside walls so that the player begins to walk onto any wall they see.

And!! Make those collectibles required to unlock secret levels

[@TheMamaluigi300]

You can only do this for one, singular collectible. If players get encouraged to do something and get *rewarded* for it, that’s bad design. Best to punish them for it with arbitrary instakill walls, and wait until players become paranoid of even touching walls before you put that one collectible in there, maximizing the amount of people stuck at 99% completion forever

1:38 Its also useful to make sure that the obstacles in a level vary wildy in dificulty. That way people who want casual, or chalanging games get what they want. And also put the chalanging stuff at the end, while making the easy stuff take a long time. Players will enjoy this high stakes gameplay for sure.

The 7th thing is making sure your level has traps that will blindside the player. Gotta keep them on their toes and artificially drag out the playtime by making sure the player dies and restarts a lot.

[@OtisMysteryMeat]

i’m passively interested in game development, mostly because I can already stop motion animate and i’m interested in making a stop motion game, but these videos have been interesting even with my almost non existent experience with game development

[@Artindi]

yeah, even if all one does is play games, game design is still pretty fun to think about and learn. :)

[@hazukichanx408]

Quick warning though: Almost every part of game development is more difficult than you might expect going in, even if you go in having already heard this and gone "Okay so I'll expect some resistance and a bit of a learning curve". There's just... so much stuff, in my case I struggle with code / software that helps you create code (i.e. Game Maker) as well as overall motivation and difficulty with both learning all facets of asset creation, and the alternative - socializing enough to put together a team and keep up with them. But when you're in the right frame of mind for it, and/or if you manage to push through the hard parts, it can be really fun to do... just to lay little foundation stones and watch them come to life more and more as the greater whole begins to form. =)

[@meowymeowz3948]

im using these tutorials and making my friend play my games

[@Artindi]

You... are a true friend. ;)

[@TheMamaluigi300]

- When making a Metroidvania game, you want to design your world to maximize backtracking as much as possible. Avoid making shortcuts, placing areas you go to next near the one you’re in right now, or incorporating any sort of fast travel option whatsoever, so anytime the player wants (or has to) get anywhere, they need to go through the same, tired paths countless times. That won’t get tedious at all! 😊 - When making a platformer or some other game in general where you fight enemies, there’s one rule you *must* abide by at: The bigger the swarm, the better. Cram as many enemies into a single room as possible, no matter how redundant or unfair that makes the experience. In fact, why aren’t we doing this with everything? Variety *is* the spice of life, after all. Cram as many gimmicks into your levels, overcomplicate them so they kinda look like the Brawl stages you made when you were 9 and felt compelled to fill every space with a tile. Program as many different gameplay styles as possible into your game. This will not only make the player have to learn a whole new, incompatible set of mechanics at a rapid pace, but more importantly, that’s basically another game you have to put time into not polishing, which helps ensure your game cannot reach a finished state in time for its release.

[@buzzlightyearpfp7641]

[@Artindi]

[@onlysmiles4949]

One of my favorite anecdotes about the development of "I Wanna Be The Guy" was when a playtester found that one of the jumps required pixel perfect precision. When he brought this up to the dev his response was "So it's possible, then?" And so it remained that way

[@stray1239]

you forgot blind jumps

[@artman40]

More things to fail at: Don't like where the player is going? Add invisible walls! Add them everywhere! Bonus points if your game has secrets that are harder to get to than invisible walls! More bonus points if player has an impressive moveset. If you don't want invisible walls, you can settle with classics like rubble, road construction barrier, a suit of armor you could clearly slip past or whatever.

[@concerningindividual629]

I think something also important in level design, particularly for incredibly large levels in things like collectathons and metroidvanias, is having some sort of map so you don't have to memorize the level manually. So naturally, not having any map is the best idea, since that gives your game extra challenge for no work at all, which is always welcome! You should also throw in some required hidden areas with no actual hints to where they are just to make sure the player is REALLY getting the entire map memorized mentally.

[@spitfire7170]

You can also bypass the need for good level design by making all levels a flat plane with randomly placed pitfalls and fill as much space as possible with enemies Then if someone complains just say the game is "combat focused"

[@sheanstanks]

The thing about this series is that it defines me in every way possibly and it makes me cry

[@yds6268]

I like Dark Souls 1 as an example: amazing level design until Anor Londo, and then downhill from there. Especially Dragon Butts and 10000 statues in Lost Izalith.

[@Artindi]

To be honest, still need to play that one. But I'll keep an eye out on lesions about level design when I get around to it. :)

[@hazukichanx408]

I feel like Dark Souls 1 has a very prominent "I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot SO HARD" moment right at the beginning, and people are like "Well that's intentional" or "It's just a more complex game" or "Part of the charm" etc., but really? You either luck out and find your way to the Undead Burg where the game's progression begins (unless you're an experienced, returning player who knows how to work the systems and wants to risk going one of the 'wrong' ways right away) or you start off bashing at brick walls with your face until you either find the manageable path, or get sick of the bricks and tell the game to get stuffed. Took me a couple years to try again after my initial "spooky graveyard? neat... oh, near-instant death by bleeds, not super neat", followed by "ghost-filled swamp? can't seem to harm them, and they can still kill me, also not great" (yes there's transient curses in a big pot right before you enter the swamp, and nobody anywhere gives you the slightest indication you should break the pot, take the curses, use one on yourself, and experience zero negative effects, UNLIKE normal curse status which is health-halving, persist-through-death trolling of players who dare to step in the basilisks' spew clouds for more than a microsecond) ...and so on and so forth. Starting the player at a big multi-branch crossroads with no indication of where, if anywhere, they would want to go for a vaguely survivable challenge... not great level design, to be honest. If the areas were of similar danger levels, sure. Or even if not, if there was even a snippet of dialogue from the crestfallen douchebag along the lines of "Careful which path you take... some will surely guide you to your doom. He he he!" or some vague crap like that. I dunno, maybe he does say something like that. I mostly remember him being supremely unhelpful in every way, and then later attacking you because why not.

[@lucasarmas9198]

i do agree a bit with the not wanting to taste brick for half an hour before starting out, but i think making these zones so hard is actually really necesary for the progression, if that wasnt the case people would just continue down these paths which in turn would lead to... nothing! because the bosses of these zones cant be accesed before anor londo, also is not like undead burg is that hidden away, infact its the most clear path (bone zone requires you to explore firelink shrine which does bring a bit of trouble as thats probably the place you want to look first, then new londo is an entire different zone, and im ignoring the fact that theres a HUGE FUCKOFF BRIDGE RIGHT IN FROM OF YOUR FACE TAKING MOST OF THE SCENERY right as you land)@@hazukichanx408

[@Ghorda9]

@@hazukichanx408 that's not bad level design, that's just expecting players to actually think about what they're doing and rewarding smart choices and exploration. If a player is having a particularly hard time with something the smart thing would be to reassess if they're ready for it or if there's something better that they could be doing.

1:01 - 0:14 My experience with the game Rain world, wondered around for 2 hours with no in game explanation of the game's mechanics, movement, or goals. The tutorial just tells you to "survive", super vegue and lazy in my opinion. That rotating thing in Sonic 3 and Knuckles' carnival night zone was less frustrating; at least it visually demonstrated it went up and down, and was interactable. 1:44 - 1:54 also my experience with rain world. The game is a Metroidvania with an invisible time limit. So as you aimlessly explore and try to figure out where you are supposed to go or what you're supposed to do with zero guidance; the invisible timer runs out and you just insta die for "exploring" for too long or accidently picking the wrong branching path. After playing actual good games like Celeste and Hades, this video really tickled my fancy. Thumbs up,

[@graysongdl]

Despite being the kind of person who pushes for fairness in game design, at times to an unreasonable standard, I'm also the kind of person who puts collectables just far enough off the edge of a cliff so that collecting them is needlessly risky. Bonus points if the player can only grab it by doing a short jump, as a high jump makes them go too high to touch the collectable after getting close enough Also make sure it's necessary for players to jump from ledges that slope downward. It gives people an instinctive feeling like they're going to slip and fall if they even stand on it, let alone start running towards the lower end of it to gain momentum. Players love this kind of thing, trust me. Another thing players love is when they have to get the timing perfect on two things at once. Like a platform that's only in the right place to jump from once every 1.5 seconds, and a hazard that's only out of your way once every 2 seconds, which means you only really get a good opportunity once every 6 seconds, despite the platform's movement making it look like you have 4x as many opportunities.

[@329link]

Jokes aside, if you want to see just how delicate something like level design can be, just check out the developer commentary of any valve game that has it (half life 2 episodes 1/2, portal 1/2, or even team fortress 2). They can provide a lot of insight and show just how many details there are that are totally invisible to the player (by design).
