As the level designer on Livelock, the level pacing is one of my main responsibilities. I am very happy with what we’ve achieved for Livelock and I really hope players get a blast out of the levels.

When I was young, I could only play two hours of video games per week. This pushed my interest to its limit and instead of playing I would imagine video games all the time. While studying in programming and design, I got into mods with the original Neverwinter Nights and launched my own mod for Neverwinter Nights 2. This confirmed my interest to become a game developer.

Another thing that was important for me early in Livelock’s development was to push  destruction of the environment. Breaking stuff is an underrated game mechanic, and I made sure it was a pillar of the Level Design for Livelock.

‘’The World Without Us’’ is a non-fiction book that goes in great detail describing how the world would fall apart if humans were to disappear. The fact that it gives so many details about Manhattan following an apocalyptic destruction was probably one of the reasons why we chose it as the main location for Livelock’s first act.

That is a very interesting question we hope players ask themselves while they play… Personally I think I would. Curiosity is the lust of the mind
