Hi all

I am working in a studio as game designer for last 3 years.

At first we had a couple of game designers that dealt with all aspects of the project - features , balance, levels etc.

During the last year we grew a lot , and lately I've been proposed to take a Lead Level Design position.

Basically what I'm asking is should I take a position ?

From what I know usually you grow from level design into game (feature) design, and it may look like a step backwards.

On other hand, a Lead is a Lead...

Can anyone share from his/hers experience and what would they do in same case ?

Thanx in advance

I think the important questions to ask yourself are-

1) What aspects of game design am I good at?

2) What do I have the most fun doing on an hour-by-hour basis?

If the answer to the above is level design then absolutely take it. Level Design is by no means an inferior sub-discipline, it's just a different specialization that require more tool and technical expertise.
