Mafia 3’s New Bordeaux went through more than 30 major layout iterations. Veteran World Designer Nathan Cheever breaks down how pathways, landmarks, infrastructure, factions, world states, and rapid prototyping can turn an open-world city into a believable place. “If you’re making a city or village, treat it like a character. It reflects the citizens, the history, and therefore is connected to the game story itself. It has strengths, weaknesses, shows its age, but still has wonder to witness.” Read his deep dive: 80.lv/articles/hidden-design…

Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better. Veteran World Designer Nathan Cheever (Bioshock, Mafia, and more) explains how traversal speed, encounter density, and hidden production costs determine the right size for a game world. Full deep dive: 80.lv/articles/veteran-game-…

Thought I'd share the simple Level Design tools (Unreal Engine) I made for the LD write-up I did since people might find them useful. Just download the project and migrate them over to your own projects to use them. Hope you get some use out of them 😄 tinyurl.com/ybyvr2db
