Rocks and Diamonds – Level Creation 2
Further to previous post you can see that creating levels for Rocksndiamonds is fairly simple.
I would like to share the following tips for any budding level designers:
- Start simple
- Experiment with different game elements
- Add new elements as you create new levels
- Don't overwhelm users or players
- Testing levels
- Self test levels
- Get others to test
- Get feedback
- Consider any feedback
- Act on feedback
- Set the time so that there is :
- Enough time to complete the level
- Have a few seconds left over
- Set time once level is completed
- Mix it up
- Start simple and work up to more complex levels
- As you create more complex levels throw in a simple level
Make use of the game editor features to save time such as:
- Random element placement (discussed in next post)
- You can draw lines
- Shapes
- Fill feature, don't add 25+ blocks manually
Have fun
Take regular break
Stop and comeback later, this gives a fresh view
Submit and share levels with the game developers, they can be part of the game level archive
- If doing this, remember to follow online safety rules
- Ask permission from an adult
- Make sure you have not included your name or contact info in any levels
- Follow any guidelines for submitting levels
- If doing this, remember to follow online safety rules
