I'm doing game design analysis this weekend, after replaying - It Takes Two by @hazelightgames.bsky.social

In focus:
How do you design a game - that couples can use a therapy?

Core: Treat both the players equally.

Day 19/20
➡️I am Sorry Mom, Please Come Back

This is not your traditional horror game :

🎈With this game, we aim to explore the mindset of a 5 year old kid, about something he doesn't understand.

4/4 🙌 this would make the traditional NOODLE based DIALOGUES writing more convenient

3/4 still you cannot neglect the RISKS:

- offensive outputs
- dialogue repetition
- NPCs giving world breaking outputs
- version mismatch or delays

even if you covered all of these, you cannot IGNORE
- NPC sounding boring
- low sales

2/4 also, please consider the DEPENDENCIES:

- strong PC to support running LLM; or
- good internet (if not local)

- cost of LLM
- game engine integration capability
- strong guardrails to restrict the model's output

1/e How to Make Players Feel for Their Characters?

Through backstories and relationships, you might empathize with characters

> But first playing together and then playing against each other, puts you in the shoes of your characters

where the tension actually feels real

1/d Narrative games risk players feeling railroaded, how can that be avoided?

> Plot can be fixed, but choices like paths or dialogues or even side activities - add flavor without branching excessively

Something they learned from their previous game "Brothers: A Tale of Two sons"

1/c How do you tell one story from two different points of view?

> Enter Leo’s aggressive style versus Vincent’s strategic choices, with dynamic resizing and collaborative QTEs

1/b In most co-op games up until then, Player 1 would lead while Player 2 followed.

But this game changed that. It introduced scenes where both players were compelled to rely on each other’s help.

1/a First up: How do you design a game where both players feel equally engaged?

In 'A Way Out,' Hazelight nailed this after 'Brothers' where one player could control both characters asymmetrically.

I'm doing game design analysis this weekend, after replaying - A Way Out by @hazelightgames.bsky.social

Imagine what challenges might 've been for the creators while designing co-op -- where "Betrayal feels real"
