Last of Us Part II Designer Shows How a Level is Made
In this episode of Game Maker's Toolkit, I chat to The Last of Us Part II designer Evan Hill about the creation of the game's best level.
This video focuses on one of Ellie's levels in the chapter "Seattle: Day 1", and does not contain any major story spoilers.
Note: This video is not sponsored by Sony. Evan no longer works for Naughty Dog, so was not acting on behalf of the developer. I did receive a free copy of the game, but also purchased my own.
