By the way, I haven’t written the abilities for the survivor player yet, but I’m really curious about the appeal of this idea. There’s a lot more I could write. I could also add a small note: this could actually be a duel. If so, there needs to be a referee to ensure fairness.

There are three common ways to organize this:

Write different functions. Keeping them in sync when changing is annoying.

Use if() statements on the inside of the functions, if the differences aren't particularly big. (Unreal does a lot of this.)

Use implementation inheritance or delegation, and take …

Keeping up with the newfound tradition, I’ve split the devlog into two parts. One is a 23 min. long video talking about design and what made it and what didn’t in this update. The other one, written here, is more or less dev-talk about things that weren’t mentioned in the video; more catered to dev…

This is a continuation of a devlog series for a prototype. For those who prefer video devlogs, here’s the Youtube version for you (long form).  The below entry is more or less a summary of that video, and a bit more for devs.

Now back to the topic: For quite some time now it was bugging me how …

@Alberth Fair enough!

In episode 11, Jeremy discusses how he came to realize (while playing Double Dragon IV for some reason) that games as a medium, demonstrate the peaceful coexistence of grand design, determinism, and free will in one possibility space. Jeremy also uses Super Mario Maker as another example of the …

The fabled game designer. The man, the myth, the legend behind the game. An inspiration to young creatives who wish to one day work in the games industry. But really, what does a game designer actually do? And how do you become one?

Let’s get one common misconception out of the way fir…

Some may argue that hyper-casual is probably one of the easiest genres to analyse when it comes to game design. Some may argue that hyper-casuals aren’t worth analyzing because it’s a trend that will die soon. I beg to differ, and I wonder who are these people and why do they argue so much?
