i really like the phrasing of design as a type of 'problem solving'!
but i think when you are looking towards other successful games a metric, you are learning more about their own specific problems, and sharing genre isnt enough to indicate that you share the same problems.

stop adding dodgerolls

i think if your challenges working on a game is 'why is my X mechanic less satisfying than game Y', rather than try to unpack game Y for their 'solutions' you should try to ask why exactly you are making that mechanic, is it needed, etc. does solution Y actually apply to *your* problem?

this is how multiplayer games treat your data while demanding you install kernel level secureboot rootkits to ‘prevent cheating’ lol

here’s my little design rule: if you can’t explain why you need to define what games are then you probably shouldn’t try to define what games are. unfortunately this applies to every definition of games ever. we call this cook’s loophole.

it's real, it's a program called fsn (File System Navigator) developed for IRIX by SGI preterhuman.net/software/fil...

sometimes, perhaps more often than most people think, the answer really is Just Write The Code Dude

strongly advise against doing this uncritically because you will absolutely accrue technical debt in areas you didn't even know existed if you're not careful. "if it works well" is a load-bearing qualifier

I'm glad someone put this together. SIXTEEN studios at risk with the Nacon insolvency.

it's just obstinacy at this point. they got annoyed with people asking and decided to never do it

albert pyun understands the medium like no other director

man's fighting a console war thirty years late. let it go dogg

game devs need to forget how fun it is to pick one of three things

is that a fact about the medium or a fact about the VC/self-styled analyst who chose to make the comparison?

My New Favorite Way to Play Video Games Is Something You’ve Never Heard Of Kids and adults are equally likely to enjoy the Nex Playground video game console, which doesn’t require you to learn to use a controller.

yeah it's basically a kinect in a little cube with an android-based OS, aimed at kids/families, I guess probably doesn't cost much to manufacture and they have people paying a subscription to get games for it

there's that nex playground thing tbf, that sold a lot of units
