Start Mapping it out

Research the kind of areas you want to emulate. Look existing places. Like pictures of forests deserts or mountains that is like your areas you want to place in you game.

Go through books like the excellent Spectrum Series (published by Underwood-Fuller) to see some great art detailing imaginary places

Look Images on Internet to great and best thing for your game world design.

you can find your local ares or magazines and your virtual world. Nation Geographic is great place to see your world;

Design your basics on a paper to mapping your idea;

Goal is mission you're building. How does player win? kill a boss, defeat an enemy. you need to know this answers hope you know!

Which kind of things (Obstacles) preventing the player from achievement his goal. In most popular games,these obstacles are a combination of environment and enemies. The environment separates the player from his goal with locked doors, death traps,maze-like pathways,and so on.Enemies are usually placed in the player’s path as moving obstacles that he must overcome.

Keep it simple at firs. Draw the space of the space you want to use. draw where the player start and where different obstacles .Draw any environmental obstacles,like mazes,rivers of lava,walls, gates, doors, and so on.

Keep In Mind : :

• Levels are innately closed areas : Players dislike when they forced only one path. The secret is you need open choices to player select his path.
• You are experienced with your game engine. Limit the number of enemies your player can fight at once to around 4-5 or fewer. Some engine better perform with many enemies.
• Make notes on the map, detailing where lights may be coming from.
• Make more notes on the map : spelling out what the player encounters in each area.

Writing a Design Document

Your idea is fleshed out.. What design document do?

• It helps you remember what you want to do
• It keeps you on track.
• It tells other people working on your level exactly what you want to create.

The formatting of a design document is pretty much up to you. You make it simple for everyone to read out it.

Make it as plain-spoken as possible.

Make it as linear as possible. Describe the level in linear terms.

Make Documentation is complete as possible.

Include many references as you can. Create Maps, reference movies, pate pictures etc.

Don't include things like programming tips, marketing strategies.

Make it into Web- Page if you want to be professional. Every level should have own page. Web documents like this are nice because many people can view them at once, and they’re easy to change on a moment’s notice.
