Level Design Theory - Single Player Mapping

This blog contains lessons learned by me through the process of mapping for Single Player games, primarily, Half Life 2, Portal and Left 4 Dead (yes Left 4 Dead can be considered a single player game). This blog's focus is on the player experience. To hell with the nuts and bolts of the level editor, the entities, models and brushes. This blog is about coming up with a final result when it's all put together. How does the player feel about the experience?

Building Daylight... the VMF's for those that want them!

Hi All

I'm a forward looking guy. I believe in open-source, I believe in sharing what we've learnt.

So here are the valve map files for each of the four maps that made up my recent mod Daylight.

Pull them apart, learn what you can, re-use what you like!

I honestly don't care if I see any of the elements from Daylight showing up in other mods. Please use it all and enjoy it!

Hope you have fun with this.
