Nemo Brainstorming Podcast #8: Level Design Paradigms

Hey dreamers! Adrian here.
We're once again talking about level design this week as the three of us discuss level design paradigms.
We take our level design study seriously!
We dig into other exploratory platformers and Metrodivanias such as Castlevania, Shantae and Hollow Knight to see how they approach traversal and backtracking and how we might apply their strengths when designing levels in Little Nemo & The Nightmare Fiends.
As always, let us know on the Discord server if there's something about the game you want us to discuss on the show. We really enjoy recording these and would love to know what our community wants to hear about!

Soundtrack preview #1: The Night Sky - guest writer Wayne Strange

So.
Who wants to hear a full music track preview?
H’WELL then, today is your kind of day! This is Wayne Strange, composer for the project, here with the music for our Sky level. A quick preface first. The creative team and I spent a long time discussing our vision for the soundtrack, and while there will be plenty of opportunity for some period piece implementation and some century-old Little Nemo callbacks (Those are going to be SO much fun for me to write!), it became apparent that the story-driven nature of Little Nemo demands a soundtrack that emphasizes adventure as its foundation rather than one that satirizes the Vaudeville era.
This particular track can be considered a “climax” of the opening sequence and is the final “movement” of a three part musical sequence. It begins with a motif you will hear earlier on in the first movement and again later on in this track and probably throughout the game. You’ll also hear sections of underscore that will vamp underneath dialogue before moving on. Then as we swell into the main verse, I hope you’ll feel the urge to stretch your arms high into the air and feel the air beneath your feet!
Okay, okay… But then, how will we work period pieces into the score? And what about Mega Ran? How will they fit into all of this? Oh, I can tell you! And I WILL… another time, BUT I will leave you with this thought. The game is called Little Nemo and the NIGHTMARE Fiends.
