When you imagine doing this job, is it mostly about crafting amazing cutscenes? Do you want to make people laugh at the silly things the game’s troops say if you click on them enough times?

Games have undergone a similar sense of discovery and pioneering since the days of Pong, with a similarly evolved mantra. Perhaps the most important thing you can learn about designing games is the natural evolution of “show, don’t tell” - “Do, don’t show.” The best games never forget this. Do, don’t show.

and my notes are obviously going to spoil some of the game's structure, but all these spoilers are pretty vague and anyway I don't name any names. This is a business model I've always wondered about -- make a big complicated game, but then earn revenue from selling ads on the wiki for your own game? Anyway, here's my notes.

I just watched a couple of videos about sandbox vs themepark games (in particular one by NerdSlayer and another by Josh “Strife” Hayes )… One thing that struck me about the ways players often talk about this (because at this point the history is so old) is that people think of sandbox as the older version of MMOs, and themeparks as newer.

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. What are secrets in videogames?

I was surprised Turnfollow was working in this big systemic genre space, since I mostly know them for their very good linear story games Little Party and Wide Ocean Big Jacket. But you can see the "seeds" of this game (ha ha) in their wartime gardening game A Good Gardener so maybe it's not so unexpected.

Framed as almost more like a sport / abstract strategy game, and therefore light on narrative. unlocking better cards etc) – the game is always fair and basically just gets harder the better you get, to match your skill level and keep you at 50% winrate. Auro and Gem Wizards Tactics meet these criteria quite well, I think.

Over the years, I have loved games in all of these categories. This is a huge one, and arguably it’s important to many kinds of games, and other forms of art as well. That kind of thing sets the brain going: what else is this game keeping track of that I don’t realize? Sense of wonder.

This might have some very light spoilers, but… honestly, one of my main criticisms is that there isn’t much to spoil in this game, at least not in the 27 or so hours that I played. The opening cutscene literally made me cry. But the rest of the game that I saw, was not like this intro at all. It’s awesome.

This is similar to my tactics games writeup and Enderal (huge Skyrim mod) writeup where I spoil some interesting game designer / systems design things. I don't discuss much of the game narrative. I assume general game design knowledge but minimal Deathloop-specific knowledge. Not that you should ever talk to a game dev.
