About Me
Tim Spaninks - Level & World Designer
Exploration and discovery are exciting; most people would agree. But what is it that creates this sense of wonder or mystery in a place? What is the dynamic that drives someone forward with determination to cross the next bridge, climb the next hill and turn the next corner?
I try to find these seemingly intangible properties and turn them into the craft of creating environments that guide the player while letting them feel the wonder of discovery, that fortify the events that take place in them and most of all: That provide depth and immersion.
I have a love for history, culture and language and aim to be the bridge between art, design and tech in shaping living and breathing worlds.
More practically, I tend to be straightforward and to the point. Though often direct, I will always be encouraging and constructive. I believe that a collaborative team can achieve a million times more than a collection of individuals and each and every one of us has a different perspective to offer.
I've also created a Youtube channel where I publish Level Design related videos with the aim to spread LD knowledge, techniques, tips & tricks to people hoping to learn a bit more about the field:

After 22 years of level design, 12 years in the industry, 5 shipped games and 7 countries, I'm always looking for the next great project to be a part of!
If you wish to get to know me better, I'd love to get in touch :)
