A little level design theory doesn't hurt. Does anyone have any other good level design resources? http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131736/beginning_level_design_part_1.php
It is not easy to find a really good level designer. I had worked with many others but this part of the game is quite difficult. As it is really important, I am interested in some more resources, too.
In my opinion this is one of the most difficult tasks to do and hire for. I didn't realize there was already a post called level design?? oops
