Level designers are directly responsible for creating gameplay through level building and scripting.

-Interest in and understanding of architecture, lighting, texturing and other elements that are required to create aesthetically pleasing 3D levels
-Ability to use basic programming or scripting tools
-Ability to meet deadlines
-Ability to work and contribute effectively in a team environment
