GDZ 001 : How much is enough? The Paradox of Choice for Game Design
Game Design Zen : Episode 001
How much is enough? With Sid Meier defining games as a series of interesting and meaningful choices, we often stuff in as many choices as possible! In this episode we explore World of Warcraft and Rift, to show WHY the Paradox of Choice matters. We discuss how to design to avoid option paralysis, postponing decisions, and regret. We introduce flow, permanence, and practical tips we can apply today.
Game Design Zen is the intersection of game design, life, and the pursuit of excellence. It is the #1 resource for all things Game Design including the science, art, and business of developing better games. There is always room to level up.
