Designing For | Conker's Bad Fur Day's Windy -- Designing For Deconstruction @DesigningFor | Uploaded June 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at Windy, the hub world in Conker's Bad Fur Day, and how it breaks down everything you thought you knew and loved about 3D platformers.
