Oh Man!! I did not even know about this event, otherwise I would have love to see your talk!! Do you know if it will be recorded?

A cheeky question for you, as with thi & Roller Dome, with your layouts, do you have any tips or areas you focus on, to help encourage the flow of movement?

Yh, always remember bigger does not mean better! I made a mistake let feature creep come in here! To just run from the start to the end (no gameplay) it takes 08:13. Ugh time to take out my leviathan axe & start making some cuts #Blocktober #leveldesign #UE5
