Time to talk about one of my games again! In this episode, I talk about "Don't Fall", my board game adaptation of the 2D platformer concept from the video game world. This is how the game has already evolved, what I'm planning on doing next, and what inspired me to make the game.

In this episode, I talk about how I try to improve my own game design skills by actively "post-processing" any game I play, using a simple list of prompts.

Let's talk about ways to approach game design, i.e., where to start a game - and let's talk about more than the usual mechanics-first and theme-first approaches!

Previous episode I mention is Ep. 9: "Branching Out!"

In this episode, I address the most urgent feedback I've received about the podcast (spoiler alert: it's related to tea!) and also look at a few other games about hacking, following Episode 5: "Other Hacking Games Part 1 - Android: Netrunner".

In this episode, I explain how the AI in my game works. It’s a cooperative game after all, so we need some sort of opposing force! A major design goal for me is to minimize the upkeep and additional components for the AI, and to keep it simple.

In this episode, I’ll finally tell you how (part of) my game works, yay! This episode is focused on the card play and I’ll talk about how I try to make it more interactive and less bureaucratic, but you already knew that from the title.
