I wanted to explore theming and how we as level designers convey this through our work and communicate it to all of our teammates. I will break down the level flow, as well as how theming can shape our design choices.

I wanted to take a moment to talk more about something a little more serious, sadly with these times, I have noticed a more serious issue in our community about mental health. I wanted to help put some minds at rest and just hopefully make you feel a lot more calm. This episode was recorded before the tragic loss of Mike Nash, our deepest sympathies to his loved ones.
