The dimension of a game is itself characterized by several properties such as spatial dimensionality, scale, and boundaries. The physical properties of this space determine a great deal of the gameplay. Video game worlds are almost always implemented as some sort of simulated physical space. For instance, I know that my current project is a multiplayer FPS game so I have to build a blockout level based on its genre.

To do so, first, you should have a good knowledge of the whole concept of your game design and then assemble a blockout level based on that concept. to build your game level at the early stages. In general, blockout is a procedure where you use a different kind of geometric shapes such as plane, cube, cylinders, etc. It’s a substantial method in the design of environments and levels in UE4. So, there is a lot you can learn every time you play games.Īnother most important tip is blockout. This approach guides me to understand the variations in the game environment details such as lighting, shaders, textures, location of the assets, sounds, etc. I take a screenshot of the corridor, then compare it with many samples on the web or other games. For example, I’m playing DOOM and then see a corridor in the game.

The most significant trick in designing a level is the content comparison method.

It’ll guide me to craft a level as professionally as possible. When I’m playing a game, I try to understand the whole concept of its environment and the details. As I mentioned above, I’m a passionate gamer who is strongly interested to play all kind of games.
