Play games at extremes to build an understanding of what is difficult and what is not Balancing Challange and frustration in games 1. Mass games like God of war is a story-driven narrative easy to play and end for people with less time on their hands 2. Games like dark souls and elden ring are tough but again cater to a certain audience but mind it they are fun to play  Don't build a puzzler that is too too difficult slowly make it difficult then too add hints like "baba is you" game does  Look around at other games and understand what makes the game difficult or what would make the player over or under powered  #gamedesign

When you’re dissecting games, it’s important to know how much detail you need. Dissecting a bunch of games quickly is very different than doing a deep dive on one game. #gamedev #gamedesign #wizwar

Do you play digital games?🎮 Our team started the new research project. We compared rolefulness among game types we usually play. The study showed that "competitive" games may facilitate our rolefulness. It is an interesting result and we will continue research and share with you. https://lnkd.in/gh6mEufy #gamebasedlearning #rolefulness

Appeal Studios is a Belgian studio that was created in the late ’90s to make one of the first open-world games ever in its time, Outcast. The title had a massive impact on the gaming industry and even defined the open-world genre during its time. Unfortunately, the IP has not been utilized much since the first release, making it severely underrated in the current market compared to the influence it once had. After two and a half decades, the cult classic Outcast has finally received a sequel named Outcast: A New Beginning. With Appeal Studios at the helm again, this game offers players a similar adventure but with much more freedom and a unique quest system. To learn more about how the studio has redefined the decade-old title, I interviewed Yves Grolet, Co-Founder of Appeal Studios, over an email Q&A session. https://lnkd.in/gYSMSqRi #gamingnews #gaming #gamingindustry #games #gamedev #gamedevelopment

The remake of Night Slashers for the Switch retains the enjoyable gameplay of the original but suffers from poor visual updates reminiscent of early-'00s Flash games. Combat enhancements include new moves, a new character, and four-player co-op, making it more accessible. However, graphical downgrades and a few bugs detract from the overall experience. #Remake #CombatEnhancements #Visuals https://lnkd.in/gwcmW8F3
