„The smell was the biggest surprise.“

Today a friend showed me his beehive and explained a lot about the social life of bees. This was perfect research material for my currend game #wildhoney. I learned new things, but what stroked me most was the smell and the general #athmosphere in this #beehive.

Seeing thing in real can be mich more rewarding, than 100 hours of research online.

„Just pick one screen, one tile, one sfx, one sprite.“

Yesterday I had a debate about old and new games, and how many ressources modern games are consuming. This sententece above is one idea, that went out of it. In the 80ies, there were blasting games, with the secret ingedient of good desicions. Not always countless hour of deliberate work is the key.

Playtesting in the wild? One of the most fun thing I implemented lately on the game was a „kiosk mode“. Brings me to the next idea: playtesting in the wild with strangers. Just bring your own beamer. #byob #gamedev #playtesting #wildhoney #indiegames

One-Screen based Maps vs One-Screen Games:
Having some sort of spacial design adds heavily to good readability, tension and orientation for the players. In pure one single screen games it is hard to maintain a „mastery of level design“ and a lot of potential is going to waste.
