level-design

Design and build playable levels — the blockout/whitebox-to-playable workflow, player metrics and grid layout, pacing and flow (tension/rest curve), gating and the critical path, and encounter design. Engine-neutral practice. Use when the user mentions level design, blockout/whitebox/greybox, level layout, level pacing, encounter design, or the critical path through a level.

# Level design

A level is a **sequence of intentional experiences** delivered through space.
Good level design is a *process*: define the metrics movement is built on, block
out geometry with primitives, play it, then dress it — never the reverse. This
skill is the engine-neutral practice; use `godot-tilemap`/`unity-tilemap-2d` to
lay out 2D grids and gridmaps for 3D.

## When to use

- Use to plan a level's structure: critical path, pacing, gating, encounters,
  and where the player learns vs is tested.
- Use the **blockout → test → iterate → dress** workflow to build a level that
  plays well before any art exists.
