@tlakomy sometimes I write tests. but I typically haven't, and that's because I am writing game code where the output is things moving around in screen, the code is tied closely to Unity's systems and editor configuration, and the intended behaviour is in flux.

@FlorianVltmn i think of puzzle design as mainly about teaching the player the mechanics. what is the player learning on this level?
-
@FlorianVltmn but a complementary way of thinking about it is: you've made a system, and it's expressive enough to contain surprises and cool tricks. now your job is to show those off to the player in the best way possible (set context, surprise them, etc)
-
@FlorianVltmn like a magic show where the magician tricks the punter into doing all the tricks themselves
-
@FlorianVltmn I keep going back to Jelly No Puzzle - some levels look impossible, but the point isn't the impossibility. the point is that there's a really cool trick that makes the level possible, and the designer really wants you to find it. but it wouldn't be cool if it looked easy.
-
@FlorianVltmn you can tell because, in a string of very difficult levels, there's one that also looks hard, but solves itself at the slightest touch. what a playful attitude!
-
@FlorianVltmn Good luck! Looking forward to seeing what you make!

@naomialderman I think the thing here is that it is not just a neutral paying attention to, it is also a public social signal (implicitly of approval). It's one thing to read the Protocols, it's another to have them in frame on your bookshelves while being interviewed on TV?

@wjjjjt Either the Lamy Safari or the Kaweco Sport, depending on if you want a big chunky pen or a little classic one. Both are ~£20, work great, are reliable.

@wjjjjt you can easily get a converter for the Safari to use ink from a pot - I think one exists for the Kaweco now, but is harder to find. or just use cartridges, which is probably easier.

@yaxu @thormagnusson @MatthewsCharles @luuma @frantic0 coming from a background in game development... the onboarding is part of the experience, it should be baked in. it probably gets developed late in the process, but is the thing you probably need the most iteration time on.
-
@yaxu @thormagnusson @MatthewsCharles @luuma @frantic0 also, i'd distinguish between the things you need to know in order to happily use the system, and all the details and subsystems and implications. one is critical, the other is just very useful.
-
@yaxu @thormagnusson @MatthewsCharles @luuma @frantic0 for example: last time I looked, there were some weird bits of Hydra that were underdocumented and I had to figure out with trial and error. but if you go to the Hydra Glitch page, here's what you see: an easy onramp to making it *do something*

@TheWhitePube Wide Ocean Big Jacket is a lovely story with characters who feel real and surprising in a way you don't often get in games. Only 90 mins or so, which could be good or bad depending on yr perspective.

@_Violet04_ @TheWhitePube definitely second this, it has raised the bar for narrative in games more than any other in the last decade. so much to yell about within it.

@tobias_revell no, although I think "new" is probably a superset of "novel"

@dinosaurrparty I will always have a deep fondness for the 213, the bus that took me to school and back for 7 years, and which formed the spine of my social life during that time. (and at night it becomes the N213, which goes all the way to Croydon)

@dinosaurrparty i mean, don't go to Kingston about it or anything. but still, that's my answer

once again, i find myself in a situation where i have used multiple booleans to represent a state, and wish i'd used a single enum

it's fine, i just overloaded the meaning of a nearby enum rather than unpick it

@tigershungry not yet! but here's some behind the scenes info - i find the thread by searching, and it's easier if i remember a word from near the end. i was trying to remember "endometriosis", but kept going back up to "farmer"... so reckoned i'd better talk about being a farmer some more.

@ftrain I mean, it's unclear to me why you'd think about it in terms of storage space, given that it would surely vary and is in a property of an entity.
