Report article Level Design Survey

A survey on Level Design in games. How players, modders, and professionals experience it.

Posted by Hourences on Aug 13th, 2008 digg this super bookmark


I am currently doing a survey on level design in general. How players, modders, and professionals experience it. Most focus is on FPS level design (aka the historical big three: UT/HL/Quake).

Quote:# For both gamers and level designers/artists, and for amateurs and professionals.
# Please note that the term "level designer" is used broadly. "Level designer", in this survey, is defined as someone who designs and creates large parts of a virtual world. This can include the visuals or the gameplay, or both.
# The results are for personal use only. This survey is a personal initiative because I would really like to know how gamers, modders, and professionals perceive Level Design.
# The results will be announced mid september. I will post them on my website as soon as they are released!


Take the Survey

Help me portray an accurate picture of the state of level design! The results will be read by a good number of professionals and modders across the communities.

Thanks!

Hm... didn't expect this kind of a survey. I thought more it would be about how mapping is done ( like what kinds of maps are good and which are bad for SP and MP ) instead of this extreme questions but maybe this yields something useful.

The only thing I didn't like was the last question. It sort of makes it so if you are a level designer/artist, you aren't a gamer, and vice versa. I think it should have been a multiple check question, and have gamer as a separate entity.
