The Death of Level Design

Postby icycalm » 26 Oct 2025 21:33

I am preparing a VGCULTURE essay titled "The Death of Level Design". The image below is one of the illustrations in the essay.

Image

This isn't a level. It's an environment. Because metaverses don't have levels, they have worlds. Levels are for programmers, to put in their programmer games.

And they are obsolete. Because once you've experienced an environment, you can't stand levels any more.

More in the essay.
