Been a while but dropping a new level design deep dive on the topic of Three Lane Map Design. Used Gears of War as my main focus but the concept applies to other Multiplayer Games. The footage was taken to best of my ability to match the content but not a means to showcase "git gud" skills. I know the music volume is low and voice is probably higher in this mix. Will fix that for next time.

Also video can be watched at 1440p! Thanks to my new 3080 and LG Monitor for capturing higher end footage. Thinking of starting a discord if things go well. Will keep y'all posted on that.
