  • 26: When the Controller is not Why You Suck at Games?

    On this week's episode, Demetruis goes into some tangents about how it is important to let your user learn how to get better at playing games on their own organically with strong in game UX, not on what controller you play.

  • 23: When is Less More?

    This week, Draw Two Design is coming in hot as Demetruis talks about how design can fall into the traps of constantly adding new features or falling into false simplicity by being too simple. How can designers solve problems without adding more user interface elements and what consequences could happen to the overall design when feature creep grows?

    Adding is favoured over subtracting in problem solving
