The Last of Us Part II - Level Design Project
Anyone who knows me personally knows how much of a huge fan I am of The Last of Us series. This series means so much not just to me, but the whole video games industry. It pushed the genre of Action-Adventure to a different level altogether. Ever since I played the first game back in 2016, I have been in awe with the level design brought about by this game and that is why when I finally felt ready, I took up the challenge to make a level design based on the second part.
​
I also did a dev log series on YouTube covering my development process and project progress. I uploaded a video every week giving constant updates on the project along with some tips and tricks along the way. I hope that my videos can provide some value to fellow devs.
Paper Designs
Please watch the Dev Log #1 video below to get a detailed explanation on the Paper Design and Level Design choices.
