  Here’s how we build the perfect levels in Warstride Challenges

  Hi everyone, Ludwig Dresh here, Co-creator at Dream Powered Games, the small studio behind the ultra-fast first-person shooter Warstride Challenges. Our game has been in Early Access for the past ten months and it has been great to share the challenges of making this speed racing dream come true with an amazing community of Striders by our side. We are now super thrilled to bring the v1.0 of the game now on Steam. We released a Launch Trailer which should give you a nice insight into the satisfying flow Warstride Challenges is all about: blasting hordes of demons at lightning speed, through increasingly intense time trials. Here's a bit about how we design a level in Warstride Challenges! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40523108/f67b1f6c329de60632917f9cb3afb2a08e39ced6.png Our level design principles For each level, we first define a general theme, according to the weapons and the type of actions that will have to be performed to complete the level. These actions can involve shooting explosive urns, using slow-motion, engaging in melee combat, using the Stomp or the Grappling Hook. We also define the types of mechanism that come into play, such as shootable buttons and levers, as well as the traps. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40523108/f47ada75c20dcc6403cb7a2499a36312373ba5f3.png We have a lot of levels and we need to make sure they all feel different. To make sure of that, we use a sheet that compiles all of these defining features for each level. It’s an efficient tool that allows us to check if each new level is different enough from the previous one to keep things interesting. It’s also very convenient to quickly see the player progression and which new weapons and powers are introduced in each level. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40523108/86744f900730f33371d1c7951fbecc3e365d2dda.png Warstride Challenges’ level design approach is all about rushing forward and feeling like an unstoppable killing machine. The most important thing to keep in mind when designing a level is that it should be possible...
