Mette Pødenphant | Play Wild Indigo Ranch! 🌵🌾

Yeai its out of the vault ❤ such a nice experience and now a fond memory! For anyone who thinks its fun to discuss the "softer" aspects of #leveldesign.. and ofc @Hitman

I was trying to "easter egg-ninja" all team members into the game, and named a horse after our producer... Which I regret today after testing the latest build... There was a lot of (completely straightfaced) "Can I ride × now?" ... 🙈🙅

Aw... just stumbled on this in my reels... this made me proud ♡ @WildIndigoRanch #WomenInGames #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #MadeWithUnity

Astro's Playroom SSD score is a banger ... Can't wait to try the new #AstroBot ! ... @KennethCYoung can we expect more synth retro goodies? #GameMusic #AudioDesign #gamedevelopment #PS5 youtube.com/watch?v=sO_zMU…

@JustinZwack Yeah pretty much... I think people in a big company is "hungry" for a "vision holder" in their proximity, and I think it happens rather organically. The LD is also often well suited, since they are so close to the game/team. But it comes with pitfalls. Burnout for instance 🤷‍♀️

@Mette_P Can you elaborate? Do you have the feeling there's a lot in common in regards to being a vision holder and ensuring a certain experience within those rather different frameworks and scope dynamics?

Going from being a #leveldesigner with level ownership in a #AAA company to being a Game Director in an #Indie studio didn't even feel like a transition.... I'm not the only one with this experience, and I feel like that's something we need to talk about. #LevelDesign #gamedev

@sdgiesselmann Nice! Thanks for replying ♡ yes I can see how the narrative aspect will just demand a lot more negotiating. I've only worked on singleplayer games or games with some narratice impact. I wonder if there are other big factors (size of the studio ofc... ) 🤔

@Mette_P In previous gigs, for one it was mostly 80% layout, 20% talking for the other, more a 60/40 split. I think it depends on genre and project needs. The one with lesser talking was multiplayer in this case, the one with more talking was singleplayer narrative driven.

#leveldesigner quick question(s) about your role on your team: Are you the go to for many disciplines? How is your work ratio between " layout" and "Talking" ? I'm considering the topic for a talk and could use some insight. #leveldesign #gamedevelopment #gamedevs

Thanks @CJSharkey909 ! Do you talk to level designers from other studios ? - and do you think they have the same experince? From talking to mutuals I'm finding that the level design discipline varies a lot from studio to studio ?

Remade this poster design I did a while back to express some feelings about GenAI. My feelings have remained the same.

Mette tries advertisement 🎬 4 Ever looked out on the vistas in #RedDeadRedemption2 and thought "urgh... I wish I couldn't see that dumb horizon at all!" Then try Wild Indigo Ranch! The wild west like you have never seen it before! From a 30° angle! store.steampowered.com/app/1751350/Wi…

GameSpew's been running 10 years. We've published over 3,000 reviews. We're on Metacritic and Opencritic. Our reviews on Google are now buried way down the listings and Google refuses to acknowledge rich data in SERPs, even though I recently implemented a new review schema block.

@LauKorsgaard Well @LauKorsgaard I'm glad you asked ❤- remember those cool views from #RDR2 ? We removed them - to keep you focused on the task at hand. It's way too distracting... BUT instead you get #monkeyIsand esque characters and #StardewValley sim-mery ✨️🏡 #improved !

@Mette_P How are you improving on the red dead formula? (except for the egg part)

I don't know a damm thing about advertisement, but I'll give it a go: If you were like "Gosh I loved #reddeadredemption But I wish my character looked a bit like an egg!" Try Wild Indigo Ranch! It's 50 % off! store.steampowered.com/app/1751350/Wi…
