Level Designers are the ones who create the worlds that make up the hit games of Raven Software. They dream up the puzzles, build the rooms, place the monsters and determine lighting – in short, everything a player interacts with is there because a Level Designer put it there. And their work starts at the very beginning with the conception of each level; they lay out how a map will look and how the gameplay will flow. Then, working with the latest tools in the industry, they create maps using assets from all the other departments: art, animation, sound and programming. After the level has been built they fine tune it to make certain everything is as exciting as possible. Part artist, part architect, part programmer, a Level Designer’s ultimate goal is to provide the best gameplay they can while creating a look that is visually unique.
