This is more for the newbie than the seasoned proffessional, but it may be useful to you too.1. Environment: Your world has to make the player want to explore the level, Good layout and texturing essential.
2. Objects: Think very carefully before placing objects, remember, an egyptian statue can look very out of place in a greek setting, or vice versa.
3. Size: Don't make your levels too big, or the player will feel too overwhelmed at the size to start exploring. Remember, lara is supposed to visit archaelogical sites, not countrys. But don't make your levels too small, or else all the challenge is taken away.
4. Originality: Now we are reaching the 400 level mark, the levels you make have to be original, so try to spend at least 2 hours thinking up a strong plot before setting to work making the level. I find writing a script helps.
5. Reality Check: Remember, lara is supposed to be human, adventures on the moon not recommended. Make sure your ideas don't get too fanciful, but try to make them interestingly different instead. Thats what I think anyway, feel free to comment on this. ------------------

Using AI triggers well can make the baddys more deadly (I looove AI triggers!!), or you could make them fire grenades with (another) AI trigger.------------------
