Yesterday we were lucky enough to have a level design workshop for Megabot’s upcoming game Backspace. Given access to an early build of the game and level editor, we sat down getting to grips with the tools and completing various design challenges. We’d like to thank Nina once again for hosting and running the event, and would encourage anyone with a taste for twin stick shooters to find out more about the game here. Below are a couple of pictures from the workshop. Thanks to everyone who came along, it was great having you!
