It sounds like this course will provide a comprehensive guide to designing video game levels, covering both the technical skills and the creative process. The instructor’s extensive experience in game development, art, and game design is a valuable asset that can provide learners with valuable insights and techniques.

The course seems to focus on building game-ready levels from scratch, starting with the basics of creating bubble diagrams and sketching on paper to iterate quickly. It’s great that the course covers the use of pro builder and pro grids to aid in level creations, as these tools can help learners create more polished and professional-looking levels.

However, the course also emphasizes the importance of the story, emotion, and game design process in creating successful levels. This is a critical aspect of level design that can help learners stand out from the crowd and create more engaging game experiences.

Overall, it seems like this course could be an excellent opportunity for aspiring game designers to develop their skills and create compelling game levels that showcase their talents to potential clients or employers.
