#BLOCKTOBER

My friends and fellow designers, It has begun! The month where we post blockouts from games we have worked on or are working on! Lets start this tradition and keep it going every October!

Thanks to Michael Barclay on getting the ball rolling this year. Be sure to post your layouts to Twitter and use the hashtags #Blocktober @MapCore

This has been cool, learned about a lot of people’s work for the first time.

Please tell your friends and co-workers! From what I've seen so far, we are just getting started!

Best week on Twitter so far

Keep seeing great stuff by people who I would otherwise not have found so easily. Want to post some stuff myself, but so far I haven't found any backups of blockouts, lol.

Very happy this turned out well, and I see it only getting better cos I’m the last 48h I’ve seen official company twitters get to work.

I love Blocktober so much, I almost hate it. I'm in the Level Art phase of my project but am flooded with Inspiration for Level Design. It makes me wanna start a new project already ...

Just write that stuff down. I keep new ideas in a text file or a folder with references, so I don't forget it, but it also doesn't sidetrack me (too much).

I often feel it would be great to have a digital pinboard where to throw picture and notes that are also visually connected… like a mind map.

Yeah, but you can’t visually connect stuff, stick comments that are not a picture description… I think?

Blocktober has been great so far. The Uncharted guys at Naughty Dog have owned it though. Been awesome seeing their progress vids.
