    @HilariousCow 1 - don't try for representational realism.

    @HilariousCow it's not supposed to contain all worthy games, just a neglected subset
  68. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow yeah - everything in the game should be made (or at least adapted) specifically for that game. Except framework/engine code.
  69. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow and yeah, that jam would be great.
  70. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow 4 - no narrative outside gameplay
  71. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow I mean, actually my personal preference leans in the other direction than this.
  72. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow @adurdin but that mechanic is mythical. Nothing interactive is completely interface agnostic.
  73. …in reply to @HilariousCow
    @HilariousCow @garethbriggs @adurdin also I like that for losing the word "fully". You can be native and use a subset of affordances.

    @smestorp Played Condottiere for the first time last weekend -- I can see why you like it.
  125. …in reply to @JohnPolson
    @JohnPolson @LewieP @smestorp The essential problem is that 1.0 is pretty meaningless. I'd just go with GOTY (that we played this year).

  143. Games designed primarily for the experience of watching someone else play them.
  144. Games where the audience shouts out the answers.
  145. Games that are not so much played as performed.
  146. (Once, watching someone play Proteus at the first WR GDC party, I thought "Man, she's good at this! These camera angles are exquisite")
  147. Games where everyone sits in silence for a moment, then one person stands up and announces they've figured out the answer.
  148. …in reply to @undefined
    @Carachan1 I don't think so? I would have told you at the time, I'm pretty sure, but that felt like a weird thing to volunteer to a stranger

    @garblefart I concluded this gif was Too Red. idk.
  802. RT @garblefart: @v21 tumblr has an utterly arcane set of rules when it comes to gifs
  803. RT @garblefart: @v21 it seems to really like the colour cyan? gifs with cyan usually fare better than gifs without cyan
  804. RT @garblefart: @v21 if any dimensions are larger than 350 it has to be under 1 megabyte otherwise its two megabytes
