I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

@Arjun Moses Instablaster =)

@Beckham Kellan Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Beckham Kellan it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

@Arjun Moses no problem xD

Thanks for writing this out! Yeah, I'm sorry about not defining the term in the video, I'll be sure to be more clear about obscure words in future videos. Here's a couple of things to make up for it. 1)An article by David Sirlin clearly explaining yomi through Virtua fighter www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/7-spies-of-the-mind 2) The book ''Designing Games'' by Tynan Sylvester goes into more detail about applying yomi in many different contexts, as well as how to manage it in a game. www.amazon.ca/Designing-Games-Guide-Engineering-Experiences/dp/1449337937

Also it's literally just Japanese for "reading"

Thanks Ruslan! I hope to do more videos like this in the future where I cover more obscure designers, as well as the philosophy of studios in general.

It's true that great games start with an idea, but the process of creating that game is used to reinforce that idea, so I'd say you need both.

Thanks! Yeah, sorry about that, I should have defined it clearly before I spoke about it. I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

Thanks Idan!

Thanks OnionRider !

Thank you Andres , i appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for the subscription.Glad you are enjoying the content!

Thanks! Interesting point, it might be that the games that resonate most with us are ones created by those whose philosophy aligns with our values. Although games are a little more collaborative than other art forms, there is still an auteurs visions that seeps in, especially with really strong designers. I hope to keep making videos, and thanks for supporting the channel Marius!

Thanks so much for the kind words The Yellow Architect! I honestly don't think i have a fully developed 'lens'of my own, it often takes a lifetime of creating games for these designers to figure that out. I have a slight bias towards Jonathan blow's dynamical meaning when analyzing games, but I also love systemic elements and deep gameplay systems as well. Part of the process of making these videos is figuring that out, and I thought putting all these ideas side by side might help clarify a lot of these things. Right now I come from a researcher/academic background, but maybe in the future if I publish a game it will finally become clear. Thanks for the engaging comment!

Interesting answer Indeed, I agree that it takes many many years of actual game development to have an "design philosophy", but I figured it was worth asking, and confirming that is perhaps the best answer you could have given xD Well, I am looking forward to more of your vids, from whatever angle you create them from, since they are really insightful! Also no need to thank for the reply/comment, I had to do it because your video was really engaging, from start to end, so I thank you hahaha

Thanks a lot Noah. Welcome aboard !

Thanks alot for the kind words fmoonek! Although i'm more than happy to overanalyze games for you, I provide all the links to my sources in my videos if you want to do it yourself . Sometimes the hardest part is just finding the sources, so my hope is to simplify the process for others!

Thanks Rek!

Thanks Nicolasio!

Thanks Felipe !

Yeah, but they seem to be used more for increasingly creative and predatory monetisation schemes :/ (like you said with mobile games, but AAA PC and console games slowly become like them)

Thanks Teal! You bring up great points, and its particularly worth speculating how technology will alter the course of the future. More sophisticated A.I is probably the bottleneck for more dynamic and procedural storytelling systems, but even things like Vr, voice recognition and facial recognition show promise. I'm not sure about the influence of mobile games though, some argue they are creating perverse incentives, but others say they make games more accessible for a wider Audience. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for the comment Zeke. When reviewing the video again I actually agree, i veered much more into the narrative side of games, and that might have to do with my personal bias towards that side of the medium, not because it is better, but because there is much more to explore in that realm. I'll try to be weary of my biases in the future. Games like Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress are interesting because they are, in my estimation, primarily systemic based narrative engines. The are a mix of WIll Wrights systemic lens and Jonathan Blows dynamical meaning, in that the story emerges from the interaction of elements in dynamic ways. For example, there's the famous thing in dwarf fortress about how cats get drunk, and that had to do with a bunch of strange interacting elements. Dwarves drank alcohol in taverns, cats frequented them to chase rodents, alcohol spilled on cats fur, and cats engaged in self cleaning to lick it off themselves, which , due to their small frame, led them to getting drunk quickly. None of this was scripted, and this is just one example of many where the elements in the game naturally interact to create dynamic stories, however ridiculous. Rimworld is interesting as well as in many sense it functions as a play or a stage theater where you have to set all the pieces and elements before you act it out. You select the world, agents and even choose the type of narrative director who introduces dynamic elements into the world as you play to craft an emergent narrative. The overarching plot is the same, but again, there is input by you and systemic elements to create a story that is player directed, but still partially authored. Ultimately both these game use systemic elements to let players craft dynamic stories through interesting gameplay. I hope to do a full video on systemic design in the future, but here are some important resources if you want to learn it yourself Game Mechanics :Advanced game design - This book gives a fantastic foundational framework for understanding systems, dividing games into sources, sinks, converters and traders, and giving examples for how to configure elements to create interesting gameplay. Advanced Game design A systems approach - This book is excellent if you want to interface with systems and complexity theory, something neglected in game design these days. It identifies patterns in games including engines, economies and ecosystems, and how they emerge and can be designed in games. Designing games by Tynan Sylvester This book does an incredible job of showing practical ways of creating interesting gameplay, and also, the author is the designer of rimworld, where he took many of its lessons and applied it in game I hope that helps, and thanks for the engaging comment!

Thanks Again for this Unparalleled Game ! You can be my official playlist maker haha

This is why games are getting boring. Worried too much about "saying something" than actually making it fun. Which is why BotW is one of the best games released in recent times, it is fun and its not trying to lecture us, but entertain us.

Totally Agree bro, Videogames has become too gambox gambliesque Mechanical artificial world.

Hi bro I am an experimental and proficient digital Artist but I also low intermediate coding so we could become partners if you like?

Thanks for the critical feedback victor, i actually completely agree. I am trying to make more self contained and isolated videos now rather than overarching surveys, as you said, it can be overwhelming.

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of my audio issues as i'm not an expert by far. I am trying to get a new mic and am working on improving my delivery as well. Sorry it was difficult to follow.

He got his Co developer to make that game alongside his prodigy lol

To be fair, the channel is called "The Game Overanalyser". But yeah, the video strays frequently into the absurd. Most of it is nonsense in the vein of the old Frankfurt School and their ironically titled "Critical Theory".

@@broomstickbrigade8010 i'm happy to know i'm not the only one who thinks this lol

@@BIGxBOSSxx1 I THINK far Cry as a series has became too edgy with themes of politics and war Contrivances, that impede player agency and Player interactive Fun Feeling. The feeling of Fun is present in games like Dark Souls and Dynasty warriors because the enemies are challenging and satisfying to overcome, even the One hit you Game over enemies in both game respectively.
