Level Design

Since the racing sections were the main gameplay component of Nirvana Pilot Yume, which also affected how the story would play out, I wanted to ensure that the gameplay sections would be challenging to the players.

One of the main things I learned from this project is the importance of balancing challenge for the players. It was a constant struggle to tune the levels to feel both challenging and fair at the same time.
