Omni System's director Rudolf Kremers is a prolific writer in various media.

Please find below useful links and examples of his work.
From the blurb: "Good or bad level design can make or break any game, so it is surprising how little reference material exists for level designers. Beginning level designers have a limited understanding of the tools and techniques they can use to achieve their goals, or even define them. This book is the first to use a conceptual and theoretical foundation to build such a set of practical tools and techniques. It is tied to no particular technology or genre, so it will be a useful reference for many years to come. Kremers covers many concepts universal to level design, such as interactivity, world building, immersion, sensory perception, pace, and more, and he shows how to apply these concepts in practical ways, with many examples from real games."
Eufloria is a slightly unorthodox game, insofar that the player's experience is as much determined by game mechanics as by the atmosphere and mood of the game. It's an important aspect of the game, and has been commented on many times. I decided it was a good idea to write down some of my thoughts about this type of game development, and place it into an actual manifesto, and make it available to people to read.
