Hi everyone. I was really happy to find this but I’ve never done any kind of level design and was just wanting to see if anyone would be able to give me any advise about it. I will be trying to build my own areas to add into Dark Souls. Ever sense I started to play the game I have wanted to add my own little twist to it. I have a few ideas for it. If you do help me out thank you vary much. If you are a fan of Dark Souls I will send you a zip file of what I added to see what you think about it.
You can’t use UE4 to add to Dark Souls, they’re not the same engine
I know that but I can rebuild it in this engine. I saw some stuff on YouTube where they were showing off what it would look like so thats all i have to do is rebuild it.
The motivation is good but as you’re new to game design and development, set your expectations low 
Everyone has the idea to create the next RPG, but very little is ever realized because of the sheer amount of work thats required to create those games.
You should instead focus on smaller, general features you like from Dark Souls and try to get those ingame first, and then build something around it. You have a lot of work ahead of you.
