At this point, Woka has 2480 levels and Viola is nearing its 2000th level, so you can imagine how much work goes into it. How easy or difficult is it for you as a Level Designer to keep levels interesting and give players an experience they both expect and don’t expect getting?īojana: Players know what to expect, so our task is to think of new ways to challenge their expectations, either by making a level that looks easy but is very tricky, or putting more bothersome elements in easy levels. The principle of shooting marbles before they get in the hole is pretty simplistic, but as levels progress there always seem to be tweaks and details that make this simple task a different experience with every level. Tamara: Designing levels for casual marble shooting games can seem almost easy and predictable to someone looking from the outside.

Truthfully, staying locked on campus for 5 months made the shift breezy, haha, I had games, lectures and exams, so I had things to do 🙂 Photos from private archive In China I studied Computer Science and Technology at Beijing Institute of Technology. I guess level design came naturally because growing up, I played Warcraft games, where you could make your own maps and balance things the way you wanted. But the opportunity came when a good friend of mine, Andreas, who is part of Two Desperados, suggested that I try out my luck. To be honest, I didn’t really plan on getting a job because I wanted to finish my studies first. So how did you get into Level Design in the first place? What were you studying in China and how did you manage the notorious ‘new normal’ shift?īojana: I can hardly believe a year has already passed. You were actually studying abroad in China when the pandemic hit. Tamara: You’ve been at Two Desperados for a year now, getting hired during 2020. 🙂 Get your digital ink ready! First things first… If you had to describe Level Design in one sentence without using the words ‘level’ or ‘design’, what would that sentence be?īojana: In my mind it’s choosing and arranging elements to create something fun yet challenging. Tamara: Time to write in Desperado Diaries, Bojana. So I took the power of WordPress, Desperado Diaries and the Comms team invested in me to bring you the craft of Bojana Bozin, our Level Designer. One of the recent insider topics was Level Design. It’s never a boring slot in my Google Calendar, that’s for sure.
