When video games started being created, due to the technology the main role that was responsible for most of the development was the programmer, their were also some artists that helped create characters but it was the sole responsibility of the programmer to but everything in its place.
For a time it was like this, but when video games started getting popular, money technology became available through funding and more content was needed. The way video games were played began to change which opened more positions in the industry. Level design became the main element of a game, which eventually opened the position of Level Designer.
A Level Designers role is to create the bare bones of a video game project. Back story, and setting. These are two main elements that video games have today. Programmers today are still a vital role in the video game process.
Level designers then were new and unheard of, with video games having stronger story elements and adding more in depth characters, level design then became a huge role in the process. Today Level design has innovated the video game industry adding deeper and more involving content.
