Project plans

On this page, we list various level design project plans / assignments. These are useful for teachers to plan lessons, but also useful for anyone seeking to learn and practice level design by themselves too.

Currently, our focus is on finishing Book 1, Process. So this section is a little neglected.

However, we do have some almost-finished project plans to give you a sense of what we're going for:

  • Classic Combat, make (and think about) Doom / Quake level design with classic arcade-style shooter combat.
