Ages ago I was working on a mobile game and one of the stages of map development and upgrades was to create blurry shots to check for visual clarity on hotspots.
Human eyes are not seeing the full resolution all the time and peripherical view has even worse level of details (but higher response rate), which makes it crucial to keep all possibilities clear for the player in every hotspot of the map.
Here the sandy surface is matching floors and serves as the guideline: players can easily follow those bright lines and spots to get into other hotspots. Shadows on the contrary suggest hiding spots or blockers of the path.

The guy who works on Indiana Jones videogame level design decided to share his personal project — Uncharted on Unreal Engine 5.
He also mentioned that the demo will never become public due to legal issues.

A nice overview of how we moved from a completely fake cities, to something that could really be a city.
Well, Bethesda didn't, but anyway...

Whoa: the apartment building with external yards in front of every flat to motivate people to be social (located in Chengdu).
It's not just residential, but also commercial: people can make small businesses in between living lots — like a street at any height.
Wanna make it in my game!

The title is misleading: the video is about Teamwork and Game Design — how to fit into the team, how to collaborate, how ideas can change over time with required iterations...

A nice overview of the new Call of Duty level design (and why it obviously sucks):
It seems like they've had different departments making changes to both levels, movement, and gunplay without truly talking to each other!
