In this episode we talk about difficulty in games. Also I would like to do a bit of a correction… During the show we talked about Uncharted and how it would show big glowing arrows, this may have been incorrect. Although the game does still give you hints and tips on what to do next if you wait long enough I do not believe any arrows appeared. Either way I still think everyone gets the idea in what we were talking about.

In this episode my usual co-host Devin was unable to make it, but in his place I am joined by our new third co-host of the show Andy Moore. The topic of discussion is on game design docs, through out the show we give our thoughts and opinions on how we would make one, different techniques to use and much more!. The discussion opens up with me asking Andy if he thinks a game design doc is even necessary. Hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode of exploring design we are joined by indie game developer Andy Moore to talk about how to design achievements in games. We end up discussing a lot of really interesting things related to achievements in games, and give our thoughts on what we think the future holds for them. The show was recorded or skype and so we sadly ended up running into some really nasty audio issues… But the show still turned out pretty great though.

In this episode I interview veteran game developer Shane Neville about agile game development. Shane goes pretty deep into the whole process of agile development, and how it can be applied in both a team and single person environment. The show was recorded little over a year ago, and the game Shane talks about he is working on has already been released. Make sure to check it at the bottom!

 

Here is the link to Shane’s NRD backlog that he spoke of in the interview
