Level Design at Naughty Dog #Blocktober 2025

Happy #Blocktober! It's been a while since I've done something so I decided to write another blog about #LevelDesign. medium.com/@arnaldo42/l...

I really hope our Intergalactic art book will be the thickest book ND has ever published. What the art team is pulling off here is insane.

tired of games adding unecessary stealth missions for no reason? Well im not!

Space is not a wall: toward a less architectural level design Maybe video game level design theory needs less focus on architecture? And maybe I'm part of the problem? My bad.

You don’t have to say any details, but is it a Neil druckmann specific thing? or just their experience in naughty dog with crunch and all.

What stories? I’d like to know

We’re hiring designers at naughty dog. If you love the kind of games we make and want to help us keep making them please apply. Im looking for folks that have a keen sense for level design, get the fundamentals but also feel passionate about pushing the discipline forward. Cheers

Are you guys nearing end of development or still mid development?

Pretty cool that HBO invited @arnaldolicea.bsky.social and me to the SXSW TLOU panel.

Me too. At best they cite that vice article and nothing more.

Here's a closer look at the title/logo sequence I created for the "Intergalactic" trailer using practical/analog FX. The spiral background is a miniature magnetic vortex @steph-sheridan.bsky.social & I made, filmed at 1000fps. The logos were made with CRT TVs & glitch hardware. More info in alt txt!

Sony Cancels Two More PlayStation Projects Company tells employees it wants to minimize impact of cuts

BREAKING: PlayStation has canceled two more live-service games, from subsidiaries Bend and Bluepoint, Bloomberg has learned.

Fans have long wondered what Bluepoint has been working on for the last couple of years. I can report it was a live-service God of War game. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Chasing trends almost always ends up this way. It wasn’t a good idea 5 years ago because they decided to throw ideas at a wall and hope they stick. Considering we’ve seen 1 of these games and it was middling… I assume they didn’t have many great ideas to warrant 12 games.

Can’t wait to see more intergalactic art in the next few years.

Level design is different at every studio but at Naughty Dog we wear a lot of hats. While we’re building a fun space and working out pacing, new mechanics etc we also think about architecture, context, shapes, modular components and general composition…

Ode to a Pre-Alpha Test: behold: a bright red door clearly marked EXIT above it, flickering, a fluorescent bulb (recently added) framed in the doorway your npc companion waving, pointing barks “hey look, the exit” it’s been (the longest) 17 minutes you still haven't found it

in regards to yellow paint:

Almost psychopathic

You think you know… but you have no idea. Naughty Dog’s 5th franchise is our wildest adventure. We cannot wait to show you more!

It’s about faith

Really liking Indy so far. There should be more period games. Really feels like playing a movie (ugh I hate that phrase). Troy is truly amazing my brain is just hearing Harrison Ford. Fuck Nazis.

What a night! Crazy to think this is out there now after 4 years of secrecy. Such a dream project with a dream team. Can’t wait for trailer breakdowns people picking up on hints of this world. There’s soooooo much you don’t know! 🌀🚀

Crash -> Jak -> Nate -> Joel -> Ellie -> Chloe -> Abby -> Jordan! Intergalactic is Naughty Dog's 5th franchise.
