Interview with
Level Designer Bisk
Question.01
What do you consider your strengths when you work?
I have nearly 20 years of experience designing levels in multi-genre games, and I'm particularly skilled at designing exploration pathways, environmental storytelling, and organic connections between quests and levels in open-world environments. I have also worked to create an optimized level design process that can be put into practice immediately.
Question.02
How are your unique strengths incorporated into the curriculum of this class?
Open-world level design is not just about making maps—it's about designing environments that players can naturally explore and immerse themselves in. In this class, I draw on my own real-world experience to take you step-by-step through the key techniques used in real-world projects, including designing exploration-centric layouts, placing landmarks, designing POIs, and connecting quests and exploration routes. You'll also learn how to leverage the newest UE 5.5 features to build large worlds more efficiently.
Question.03
What are the purpose and unique qualities of this class?
With so few opportunities to learn open-world level design in a structured way, this class aims to help anyone design and implement quality open-world levels through a hands-on approach. Specifically, we'll focus on how to be productive with the latest features in UE 5.5 and how to build immersive worlds through environmental storytelling. I’ve designed this class to be a hands-on experience where you'll not only learn theory, but also create real-world levels and build your portfolio. You'll leave with an understanding of the core principles needed in open-world level design and how to apply those to give yourself a competitive edge in the workplace.
