As the 3D engines in modern games have become orders of magnitude more complex than their 2D brethren of five years ago, so too have game development tools become major development undertaking. These days, many game development teams find that they have to allocate one programmer primarily to tools creation, if not multiple personnel in the early stages of a project. And when it comes to game world design, the quality of the tools game designers have at their disposal will be directly proportional to the quality of levels they are able to create.
