LEVEL-DESIGN.org News Roundup – Volume 37
Hello fellow artists and designers! Welcome to the 37th Volume of the LEVEL-DESIGN.org News Roundup! I wanted to inform you about potential major website changes in the near future. I have a few ideas on how to improve the website.
From other news: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, the game I was working on for more than a year is finally released! I hope you’ll enjoy our levels as much as we enjoyed working on this game. Have fun!
Cheers and enjoy the latest roundup!
