Level Design Lessons

These essays were first written and published on my website in 2009. They’re mostly focused on platform games. I guess that’s what I was doing at the time. They’ve been cleaned up and revised after a decade that I have spent (in part) teaching game design in a real actual classroom, and they reflect me, you know, growing as a designer and becoming smarter and stuff. 

Feel free to reproduce this document, assign it to your own students, etc etc. Enjoy!
