I think [[level flow]] should be confined to a discussion of player movement only - we should keep item placement out of this, because they're two seperate concepts.

Since item placement and vantage points affect player movement, I think it shouldn't be left out. They act as flow generators. Depends on how you define flow or level flow of course, and just as with the term gameplay, they remain relatively vague and/or debated. For me, gameplay is a much broader term, referring to the overall player experience rather than the movement and decision-making behind it only. I guess that's where our definitions differ: you see flow as movement, I see it as movement together with the decision process behind it. --[[User:Captain P|Captain P]] 16:36, 22 Dec 2006 (PST) | |||
