Why This Course is Special
"Elevate Your Game - Become a Professional Level Designer!"
This course goes beyond the basics of Level Design. It delves into the key fundamentals, best practices, and the expertise that makes a level designer industry-ready. Unlike other courses where you might be left watching PowerPoint slides, this course is hands-on. You'll learn from experienced level designers who are building scenes and teaching alongside their theories—making sure you see not just how it should be done, but also how it is represented in both Unity and Unreal Engine.
Course Outline & Highlights
🎨 Section 7: Composition in Level Design
Learn about the theoretical and practical use of composition techniques such as layers, angles, and visual weight distribution. We'll explore how these principles affect a player's experience and how to apply them within Unity/Unreal game engines through in-game examples.
🗺️ Section 9 & 10: Building our 3D Level
Transform your designs into interactive experiences by grey boxing your map and dressing it out using assets from the Unity Store (Section 9) or the Unreal Engine Marketplace (Section 10). These sections are where theory meets practice as you build your own level.
🌟 Section 6: Guiding the Player
Master the art of guiding player movement through clever use of horizontal, vertical, oblique, and curved lines. Discover how to create points of dominance that naturally lead players towards their next objectives without overt guidance.

Our Verdict
This course offers a solid introduction to level design in popular engines like Unity and Unreal. While it delivers a wealth of theoretical knowledge, the execution could be improved upon, as some examples display basic errors, and the production quality is inconsistent at times. A few sections appear missing or incomplete, particularly when focusing on Unreal Engine 4. Despite these shortcomings, this course remains an excellent starting point for those eager to dive into game level design.
