i put together a prototype of a dice-type game today (from idea to game sheet!). will do some testing with the wife tonight to see if the idea is a fun one or not
Só agora fiquei sabendo que existe a GamesCom!
A programação é bem interessante.
De 1 a 4 de maio em Sampa:
In a forum far far away, I mentioned the unpleasant memory of how I'd once quickly gotten a big combo, milked it for all it was worth, the other players didn't stop me, and thus I won the (long) game right there. I ended the comment with this being, "Not something I'd wish on anyone."
The responses were about how great that was, how much they liked that visceral feedback, the gratification -- missing the point that what I'd hoped would be a game, a game with gameplay, with contest & striving & mixtures of failures and successes was now a pathetic ignorable degeneracy.
This is not a sob story of WoeMe and the GreatSadnessOfBeingMisunderstood, but rather recognition of the value of sustained interactive struggle in games, and the appreciation thereof. Something to seek and celebrate.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to evolve my #HarlemUnbounding Patreon — new ideas, fresh content, deeper dives into history, storytelling, and TTRPG design. If you’re curious or want to support a small business creator, now’s a great time. #TTRPG #GameDesign #HistoryBelongsToAllOfUs https://www.patreon.com/posts/leveling-up-126206048?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Need a Game Designer?
I am a freelance game designer and solo game dev.
I am looking for work! Any duration (freelance, part-time, fulltime).
I can do all kinds of design work. I release own games made in Unity (C#) and love to work in teams!
My specialties are system design and non-violent game mechanics.
I value kindness and creativity.

That’s a great article even though the sample of interviewees is definitely skewed. It’s about #GameDesign but touches a bit on animation so it‘ll apply to the #VFXindustry as well.
It’s really bleak that AI is displacing artists first instead of middle managers and CFOs. Where‘s the first all-artists game studio collective that uses chatgpt to fill those number-crunching roles? https://toot.cafe/@baldur/114299441784328046

Gerade beim Spaziergang durch den Wald mit der Partnerin ein neues Gesellschaftsspiel grundlegend konzipiert. (Außerdem bin ich dadurch heute auf über 12.000 Schritte gekommen.) Gleich erst mal aufschreiben, bevor ich die Ideen wieder vergesse. #gamedesign
Ależ cudo.
Dobrze zaprojektowane interfejsy diegetyczne wciągają w świat gry bez zbędnych nakładek. Elementy UI są częścią otoczenia, przez co zwiększają immersję i sprawiają, że rozgrywka staje się naturalniejsza i bardziej angażująca.
