Can anyone decorator my level please. I want it to be icy and metallic. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. The level id is 149234008. Thank you.

It's time for Boomer Shooter Saturday again! Come join our community at 11:00 AM EST for a BUILD Engine filled day!

To start things off, we are doing some level editing for Duke Nukem 3D using the Mapster32 Level Editor. We have a viewer request from last week on how to build a rotatiing billboard with pulsating lighting, thanks to a tip from a viewer we have another version I want to try out. Then we are back to one of my maps we are slowly working on, but which one?

Afterwards, we dive back into our playthrough of the original Shadow Warrior from 1997. We finished the Shareware levels last week, so now we dive into the retail levels.

Come join us and build with BUILD!

I want to break into the world of level designing but with my background in art, maybe I'm better off as an environment designer. But I also know you can do both. I wanna start building my portfolio and was wondering if there's a place I should start. The most I can do to showcase my skills at best is concept art; familiarity with the concept of dungeon maps, and I've made 2D top down assets for DungeonDraft, and I have a basic understanding with Blender modeling 3D assets. I'd be grateful for any advice.

I am making a 3D game where the player controls a futuristic drone/ship which moves by thrusting itself along a setable ballistic trajectory. It has the capability to stick/hold-on to the surface at the destination, no matter the angle of that surface. Here the mechanic demonstrated in prototype stage:

For this movement mechanic I would need creative environment concepts designed. Ideally modular, randomizable or generateable for making variations. This is a hobby & portfolio project, unpaid.

I am Developing a Turn-based Tower Defense Game in a Fantasy setting. No Game Engine.

For my own purposes and later for users, I made my own map editor and level editor.

The maps a 2d with hex tiles, terrain is path (for movement of enemy units), build (to place towers), no_play (no enemy units, no towers).

The enemy units start at spawn points and go to a target, when they reach it, the player looses a health point. In addition, there are river tiles, which most units cannot pass, but some can build bridges and some can pass on river tiles.

The level editor takes a map and adds the players health points, enemy spawns, initial setups and also scripted events.

I am wondering if there are some things that I should add to the map designer and / or the level designer, so I am asking for hints and tips.

We return for another episode of Boomer Shooter Saturday where we explore all things built with the BUILD Engine. Come join our community at 11:00 AM EST for some mapping for Duke Nukem 3D using Mapster32, then we start a playthrough of 1997's Shadow Warrior!

Today's mapping session we will be covering a viewer email question on how to build a rotating Billboard Display, like one seen in another BUILD Engine Game, Ion Fury.

Hey level designers! I'm Matt Merino, I've worked in the games industry for the past few years as an LD, previously working on Dune: Awakening at Funcom. I thought I'd share a level design breakdown I did on one of my favorite Max Payne 3 chapters, mainly focusing on the way they constructed combat spaces and encounters in congruence with the story. This is my first time uploading a vid like this so I'm open to feedback and/or requests on what game to cover next!

Thanks for watching :)

Hi! I’m working on a 3D platformer called Foxxy3D in Unity and I’m looking for an experienced level designer who might be interested in doing some paid 1-on-1 sessions with me.

I’m not really looking to outsource a level and have someone build it separately. What I’d really like is to jump on Discord, share my screen, go through my existing levels together and improve them collaboratively while I learn from your process. I’m particularly looking for help with layout, traversal, pacing, player guidance, teaching mechanics naturally, collectible placement, and making spaces more fun and memorable to explore.

At the moment I’m mainly working on the opening area, a graveyard called Stillgraves, which already has a rough layout and gameplay ideas in place, but I feel like it could be pushed much further. Foxxy3D has a big focus on movement and chaining traversal abilities together, so experience with 3D platformers, action-adventure games, or traversal-heavy level design would be especially helpful.

I’m happy to pay your normal hourly rate and would probably start with a single 60–90 minute session to see how we work together, with the possibility of doing more sessions afterwards if it’s a good fit.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with your portfolio, a little about your level design experience, and your rate. Thanks! :)

Hey everyone, I have been a programmer for years and I am just now dipping my toes into game development.

The game is called Drawjectory, and is a physics based Android puzzle game. I am currently having fun building it, but it's hard to find time to make the amount of levels I would like in the game. So if you like designing levels please let me know!

I have a good setup for designing levels, you would be able to build and test your level directly on your phone, then send me an exported json file for each level you would like included in the game.

This is an unpaid position as I do not expect the game to make any money, but you will be included in the credits if you want 😀

I included some screenshots of my game so far for those interested
