You can read the "How the Character Designs in Horror Games Scare" research written by Burak Gürlek for the "Bilkent University, Department of Communication and Design (COMD), 354 — Game Design and Research" course.

Analyzing the Fast-paced Gameplay of Grim and Bit in CS:GO The video transcription describes a gaming round where Grim seeks revenge after a previous round where Bit was dominating. The round quickly spirals out of control for Complexity as Grim is taken out, leaving Bit to try and salvage the situation. Floppy and Halzerk, two skilled gamers, make a clean move through the lane, securing a victory. The fast-paced action and strategic gameplay make for an intense and exciting match. #counterstrike #cshighlights #csgo #vizard

I edited together a short game design video on the gameplay loops of survival horror games as a part of my Masters FYP research. Maybe I'll continue it into a short series and talk about player mechanics, systems design and puzzle design sometime soon. Hopefully it's helpful to somebody somewhere! #gamedesign #gamedev #horror #survivalhorror

Inspired by Mines vs Humanity I made my own minesweeper-clone on Strange Leaflet using Phoenix LiveView to handle all the multiplayer interaction. Since I deploy Strange Leaflet worldwide I didn't want to bottleneck all games to one global state: so the multiplayer games are regional but the scores are aggregated globally. I also wrote solo versions where you can cheat a look at the board for one second at a time. Phoenix and LiveView make writing these kind of dynamic shared user experiences quick and easy! https://lnkd.in/exWze8qs #elixir #phoenix #myelixirstatus
