可修改的游戏（推荐）
When you mod a game, you get to re-use graphics, sounds, code, and most importantly, core game design and tuning. We strongly recommend learning level design by modding.
当你修改一个游戏时，你可以重复使用图形、声音、代码，最重要的是，还可以重复使用核心游戏设计和调整。我们强烈建议您通过修改游戏来学习关卡设计。

Moddable games (all) 可修改游戏（全部）
These moddable games are NOT part of our recommended list, for one or more reasons:
出于一个或多个原因，这些可修改游戏不在我们的推荐列表中：
player or modder community has died off
玩家或修改器社区已经消亡OR the tools are too old, unsupported, broken, or painful
或者工具太旧、不支持、损坏或令人痛苦OR the tools are seen as "illegitimate" by the industry (even though the industry is wrong)
或者这些工具被业界视为 "不合法"（尽管业界是错的）。
But your enthusiasm matters most. The best tool is whatever you will actually use to finish projects.
但你的热情最重要。最好的工具就是你真正用来完成项目的工具。

3D game engines 3D 游戏引擎
Modern all-purpose game engines almost never have good level design tools by default, so you should expect to download and install additional plugins to aid construction.
现代的通用游戏引擎默认情况下几乎都不具备良好的关卡设计工具，因此您需要下载并安装额外的插件来帮助构建关卡。
| Engine | 3D tools 3D 工具 | Scripting | Community |

CubeGrid, Modeling Mode 立方体网格，建模模式 | C++, Blueprint C++、蓝图 | ||
It is possible to import TrenchBroom files into Godot, Unity, or Unreal. See TrenchBroom > Compatibility for recommended plugins and importers.
可以将 TrenchBroom 文件导入 Godot、Unity 或 Unreal。有关推荐的插件和导入程序，请参见 TrenchBroom > 兼容性。

2D level editors 二维关卡编辑器
If your engine already has a built-in 2D level editor, then use that. But if you're using a homemade engine or web-based framework, you'll need a standalone 2D level editor.
如果您的引擎已经内置了 2D 关卡编辑器，那就使用它。但如果您使用的是自制引擎或基于网络的框架，则需要一个独立的 2D 关卡编辑器。
Unlike the fragmented 3D editor ecosystem, all standalone 2D level editors are open-source, stable, and engine-agnostic with easily parsed JSON file formats. Here we generally recommend Tiled, with its many features and widespread engine support.
与支离破碎的 3D 编辑器生态系统不同，所有独立的 2D 关卡编辑器都是开源的、稳定的、与引擎无关的，并具有易于解析的 JSON 文件格式。在此，我们一般推荐 Tiled，因为它功能众多，而且广泛支持引擎。
| 2D level editor 2D 关卡编辑器 | Notes |
|---|---|
built-in Unity 内置统一性 | Sprite Shapes, Tilemaps, Tilemap Extras |
built-in Unreal 内置虚幻 | Paper2D tilemaps are "experimental" |
built-in Godot 内置戈多 | TileMaps; supports autotiles |
most common standalone editor, supports many engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, and more) | |
more recent tool, streamlined, lots of features | |
not actively developed, but still simple + solid |

3D art tools 3D 艺术工具
In most cases, we don't recommend using 3D modeling tools to build levels. That said, all these tools basically do the same thing, and you should use whatever tools you like using.
在大多数情况下，我们不建议使用 3D 建模工具来制作关卡。也就是说，所有这些工具基本上都是做同样的事情，你应该使用你喜欢使用的工具。
We generally recommend Blender, free open source software that now rivals commercial tools. Older artists often prefer Maya or 3DS Max because they already learned it + industry pipelines are tightly coupled. But let's be clear -- Blender is basically the future, and Autodesk's days are numbered.
我们一般推荐 Blender，它是一款免费的开源软件，现在可以与商业工具相媲美。年长的艺术家通常更喜欢 Maya 或 3DS Max，因为他们已经学会了它们，而且行业管道耦合紧密。但我们要清楚，Blender 基本上就是未来，欧特克的日子已经屈指可数了。

for learning 3D level design fundamentals, we recommend modding Quake or Doom
要学习 3D 关卡设计基础，我们建议您修改 Quake 或 Doomfor making 2D levels, we recommend Tiled
在制作 2D 关卡时，我们推荐使用 Tiledfor general 3D art, we recommend Blender
对于一般的 3D 艺术，我们推荐使用 Blenderfor general 2D art, the world still uses Photoshop
对于一般的 2D 艺术，全世界仍在使用 Photoshopfor planning, we recommend keeping an IRL paper notebook for personal sketches, notes, etc.
为便于规划，我们建议保留一本 IRL 纸质笔记本，用于记录个人草图和笔记等。but anyway, you should use whatever you feel good about, because making and finishing stuff is more important than social consensus
但无论如何，你应该使用你觉得好的东西，因为制作和完成作品比社会共识更重要the ultimate level design tool is "giving a shit"
