Level Design Lobby - How to approach Stealth Design
In this episode, I have taken a deep dive on of my favourite levels to play when growing up which was stealth levels. I was a huge fan of both MGS & Splinter Cell franchises, now we see some form of stealth in many of our games. So I wish to share some tips which I have learned over my time.

Level Design Lobby - Redesigning Others Levels
An aspect that is not always spoken about is the fact that during development, time is not always on the team's side. This can be because work is not split evenly, deadlines, holidays, or possibly someone leaving the company. Regardless of the reason you may end up taking over another work, which can be great but also challenging, so let us talk about what we can do once handed ownership.

Level Design Lobby - Design through production
As we develop games there are multiple stages of processes we go through:
- Preproduction
- Production
- Polish
As LDs our role & focus will change to best meet those stages of production. I will talk through what it is that makes a good LD in each of these stages.
