Jotun & Tense Level Design
40Today, I'm looking at tense level design in Jotun. Looking at the level on the lake with Jormungandr, I examine how it breaks in pacing and atmosphere with the rest of the game to deliver an experience where the player is hunted.
And yes, My pronunciations are taken straight from God of War. I'll place my trust in Santa Monica Studios today!
If you liked Jotun or want to discuss anything in the video, then leave a comment down below. I'd love to hear from you!

Playing at Being is a video series on game analysis which looks at interesting aspects of games and how they can frame play.
Last time I talked about at Colonialism and its possible manifestation within Splatoon. Though it might at first exhibit signs of colonialist mechanics, it ultimately isn't but it's worth investigating:
