GDC 2017: Level Design Lessons from Dishonored 2

Spend some time to study this GDC 2017 talk featuring Arkane Studios’ Steve Lee breaking down a holistic approach to level design where level designers not only think about many aspects of the player’s experience (primarily gameplay, presentation and story), but focus specifically on how all of these things work together.
