The Design Den is a friendly, professional, and quirky place for Game and Level Designers to discuss all things related to our constant passion for crafting experiences for players. As an up and coming game developer you should think of this community as a social and learning hub. A place where you can comfortably ask any question, approach any member, and share your work without feeling judged. If you already work in the industry, then you should think of this community as a place for you to point lesser experienced developers into the right direction and a place to have healthy conversations with them about your experiences. Hey, maybe it’s time to start your own personal project or prototype that mechanic you always wanted to put in the games you've worked on. Let’s see it!
Whether you are old or young, a green newbie or seasoned vet then your voice is important to us and we would love to hear it.
We support and welcome people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities and ethnicities.
AAA Designers Game or Level Designers who work at a AAA studio. Pick their brain, ask them for advice, and tell them which levels you loved/ hated from their recent titles. They'll love it. (I think)
AAA Tech Artist Want to know the capabilities or limitations of an engine? Poke them and take notes. Too wise to be an LD, but too lazy to be an artist :wink: Tech Artists are the glue that hold the tools and and developers together.
AAA Artists Reserved for AAA Environment Artists make some of your favorite games look amazing! They are also why most LDs have grey hair! Follow the blockout or else! Just kidding. Artists and Designers are the yin and yang of game development.
Designers If you're looking for work, going to school or just a passionate hobbyist then you are a Designer! None of this 'Aspriring' crap! If you play guitar for fun are you an aspiring guitar player? Nope!
