To dig a solid fantasy out of that ‘omelette’, we found ourselves essentially relying on a good ol’ helping of subtractive design. We feel like En Garde!’s

Codex is a new take on customizable card games. Last week I posted a new Raw Game Design podcast episode (for $10+ patrons) where I discuss "reset buttons" in Codex (cards that blow up the board so you can possibly come back from a very bad position).

You can always do more outreach, but I wound up working with the super cool people behind Board Game Design Lab and We’re Not Wizards. Was it the basic concept? I never used market data to validate this game. I’ve never found an adequate game to make a comparison to. That’s where you want to be.

As I’ve gone through the Final Fantasy series recently , it’s notable that the games used to have secrets, and now, they pretty much don’t anymore. Somewhere in the late 90s, and certainly by the mid 2000s, it was decided that secrets are bad and games shouldn’t have them. They change everything.

So simulationism was born as a way to make fantasy worlds richer, more immersive… in a sense, to “make the ride better.” Not that I coined them, of course; the concepts were very much in the air. It’s stuff that single-player game designers know how to do. So is FFXIV. But Eve is basically simulationist.
