# Level design 101

So, yes you had written your story and now you need to know where and how your characters will move on it. 

So let's come back to the level design elements to help us to build this stuff...

This can probably change a bit our story but it is fine. We are "iterating" to make the best quest possible. 

One of the keys to good level design is that the player’s eyes pull them through the level, effortlessly. It makes the player feel in control and immersed in the world.

Avoid cognitive charge: this means, avoid the player needed to go backwards to find something and then go back.
