Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

Most people treat it as art and not a business. They make their dream game with zero compromise. Not a viable business model, but it's what they want to do and that's fine, as long as we agree that there is a good chance it will not succeed financially.

Working on a new scene. Nothing more fun I think than setting up objects like on a stage, thinking about composition, light, storytelling etc 😊

Our game is not meant to scare or depress. It's bittersweet, maybe cathartic, and is meant to show something complicated about a disease that impacts families everywhere.
We hope our new title will evoke emotion and thought.
And remind us of what matters in the end: as long as you're here. 🫂

In game design, around 98.5% of the time, "simplicity" and "fun" go hand in hand.

I keep seeing posts like this and I keep being surprised at just how naive people are being about the potential for pure generative AI to somehow be the way way game are made.
These tech demos are neat, but this is never going to happen 🧵
