Finally, I can talk about the game that I've been working on as a senior game designer for the past eight months! It's been a great pleasure working with the talented team at SGI to bring forward this re-imagination of Minesweeper! How do you make a classic fresh and interesting again? If I may share my view, the first step (for myself at least) was to look at what Japanese designers did with Pac-man and Space Invaders: Strip down the game mechanics to the basic core, and see if there are improvements to be made (and usually there are lots). Next, take a deep dive and observe how players play today, because people evolve and habits change, and being faithful to the original doesn't mean you're just copying everything 1:1. 😊 https://lnkd.in/gVS8fqyY #NetFlix #Minesweeper

I never thought I'd kinda cross-post from Bookface, but here's my expanded bundle of opinions on the new Fallout series on Prime. Ok, I'll say it: the Fallout Series is absolutely amazing. As a more than two decades-long fan, it gave me the same feeling as I got when playing the game. The opening of Vault 33 and ... Well, see for yourself. Welcome to the Wasteland. This is exactly what I would have given a limb to work on as a set builder and prop maker (the Power Armors, man! The towns! The dusty, broken, rotten buildings and cars! EVERYTHING!)!!! As a gamer, it's something I'd never believe I'd see on the screen, purely because I didn't think producers would have the guts to do it without completing sanitising the product. I thought it would not be adaptable, because in the game series, the lore is so developed that I believed it couldn't be rendered succinctly enough to get the message across without losing its meaning. I was wrong, and I'm glad of it. The actors are impeccable, pretty much all of them, with interesting characters and actual emotional meat on their irradiated bones, even if Walton Goggins absolutely steals the show as usual. Most actors just can't compete with him (and I'm someone who doesn't like people with Teeth on screen, so that's saying something). On a less fun note, the opening scene, with everything happening in the world at the moment, is a good reminder of how quickly we can lose everything. Fallout was never just a video game series, it was a cautionary tale. A tale that has been ignored for a long, long time. But it's out loud again, so maybe listen up. So, remember: War. War never changes.
