Let's talk game design in arcade racing games! An in-depth look at the arcade racing subgenre, and the design elements that make them satisfying, addictive and... good.
We'll investigate things like handling and presentation, while comparing the arcade genre to the more realistic simulation games and where the differences are, as well as how those differences affect the player experience.
My gamejam was, I admit, six months ago. It's been an awkward year, and a bad time, but I'm back now (hopefully), and the first thing I need to do is celebrate my gamejam, the results of my gamejam, the participants of my gamejam, and just generally how brilliant you all are. So here that is. Sorry it took me so long, I'm back now. Hello, 2023!

Sonic the Hedgehog in 3D has had a pretty rough time, depending on who you talk to (more on that some other day), so I thought i'd take Sonic's game design and play around with it in 3D. That's where we're at now - Me, making a 3D Sonic Fangame, for some reason, in Construct 3. One day, we'll have a full devlog about it but for now, enjoy 60 seconds of uninterrupted footage of Sonic the Hedgehog in 3D, in Construct 3. Pretty amazing, isn't it?

E3 is here! For many of us, that means a hype showcase of all the things we want to purchase in the next 12 months. For many more, sadly, it means obscurity. But NOT ANYMORE! Join us for Let's Talk Games Direct, an E3 Presentation featuring games you (most likely) WON'T find elsewhere during the event. Passion, creativity and drive, all on display as we say "Hey, let's talk games... direct".
Thank you to Will Myers @clonethirteen for the music in this production!

Game Design under a microscope as I play and analyse YOUR games that you've submitted to the Let's Talk Game Design Discord server! Is your game design on point? Do your level designs need work? Are your game mechanics just utterly broken? All of this and more! Probably!

You've watched my indie game devlogs, but how good is reiterate(), really? Join me for this personal analysis of just how much of a success/failure it was, and we can conclude our devlog series hopefully with something helpful.

Game design in practice, as I start to make my first game for release on Steam. It's an as-yet-unnamed 2D platformer, and I hope you'll come along with me on the journey of wherever it ends up.
I hope you'll join me on the journey, and we'll see how far we can get together.

I entered the GMTK Jam 2022, this is the devlog for that! It covers how to finish the game you're developing, even if it's for a gamejam or a long-term main project. Take your game development and actually FINISH it. Use this video as an example of how game design in a gamejam (or not) can influence what it takes to finish developing your videogame. Hopefully, it helps.

Game design and game development is hard, but putting a time limit on it is somehow even harder. Can I make a game in one hour? Sixty minutes? However many seconds? Come find out!
