I think looking at bullet hell games as inspiration for my game was the wrong approach. It came naturally due to the apparent proximity of the genre, but I don't even like bullet hells. To hectic. I like jumping, exploration and feeling of progress. 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev
I'm just reading "The Art of game design" by Jesse Schell. His "Lenses" approach makes perfect sense. He promotes to view a game from very distinct individual perspectives, separate from each other. Due to the lack of an overarching framework (or a science) for game design, this…
