I think I disagree
using juice can be wonderful for slowing down the rhythm of the game
but I think it also comes down to whether you can couple the motion to the player interaction, and making sure the interface always responds smoothly to the player no matter the circumstances

Game "juice" can be important for game design, but I feel people still - after many years - take it as everything must have it, especially UI. You don't need each letter and box to wiggle or tween.
Hell, no tweening with instant stops and starts is a completely different, legit kinaesthetic design.

simply adored my time with cairn
and also secretly wish it hadn't focussed so much on story. All the dialogue and cutscenes and camera cut-a-ways really took me away from my own personal journey of climbing up the mountain

cairn is about chasing the stillness at the edges of our mortality, and ascending at any cost, so that we may someday dance endlessly among the burning stars

sent my game into an award ceremony and I really hope it gets nominated for a design or accessibility award, or at least gives the judges a lot to talk about 😊✨

no matter how simple a question may be, I always adore adding small opportunities where the player can playfully break the interface and mess about
you wouldn't believe how much joy it brings folk to outsmart me

been working with our local council making playful survey games for our kids, to better understand what kind of playgrounds they want
it’s been such work, but the feedback from everyone has been beyond heartwarming and it genuinely feels like we’re making a difference ☺️🌻✨

art is reactive, it reflects the world it was made in, it does not create it, if you're frustrated with a lack of any certain type of art your work is with the world not the minds of artists, art helps us process what is happening to us and connect across space and time, but it can't save us

simply adore when games explore the feeling of loneliness, or give you space to be alone with your thoughts; even more so when they challenge that desire for loneliness
why am I so intent on climbing this mountain, when the ones I adore more than anything else are waiting on me in the next room?
