Designing For | Metal Gear Solid's Heliport -- Designing For Divergence @DesigningFor | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours 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 the Heliport, and surrounding intro areas from Metal Gear Solid, and how they adapt a player to play differently through divergent gameplay.
