The more time you spend building a game, the harder it gets to actually see it. Not the code, not the assets, but the raw experience your players will have. Your team masters every mechanic. Players struggle to articulate why something feels off. And somewhere in between, patterns emerge that neither side fully grasps.

🏗️ Designing the First Walled Level in Bubble Tank Frenzy 🚀 In the latest chapter of my Bubble Tank Frenzy development journey, I’ve taken a significant step forward—designing the game’s very first walled level! 🧱 This video covers the process of bringing walls into the game, a critical element that adds a whole new layer of strategy and challenge. One of the highlights was figuring out how to make bullets bounce off the walls, opening up exciting possibilities for gameplay. 🔄 Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing—there was plenty of configuration work to get everything just right. But seeing it all come together was incredibly rewarding! Check out the video to see the progress and get a behind-the-scenes look at how these mechanics are shaping up. Your feedback is always welcome! #GameDevelopment #IndieDev #LevelDesign #GameMechanics #BubbleShooter #3DGame #DevLog https://lnkd.in/ehCFKNJP

REVOLVER Four players, A, B, C, and D each pick one corner of the stage. The host gets a suggestion for a scene from the audience and assigns it to players A and B on the front corners. The host then says “rotate right” and everyone rotates clockwise on the stage. Then the host gets another suggestion and players B and C have a separate, new scene together. Rotate right again, new suggestion, and players C and D have a separate scene together. Rotate right one more time, new suggestion, and players D and A have a separate scene together. Throughout the game, the host will be rotating between these four scenes by either calling “rotate right,” known as clockwise, or “rotate left,” known as counterclockwise. Each time the scenes are revisited after rotating, the players can pick up right where they left off or go hours, months, or years into the future. https://lnkd.in/ekm2XYDM #improvgames #improvtips #shortformimprov

The past few days, I've been working on yet another project: 'Mice & Dice', a game about being a mouse and cheating at gambling! Made in 96 short hours for the Gamemaker's Toolkit 2024 Game Jam. It was challenging making something more experimental, but I couldn't be happier with the result! Play the game yourself over here: https://lnkd.in/egABe9-v #indiedev #unityengine

When I first started consulting, I had a client who was afraid to let people playtest their game too early. They thought the game needed to be polished, finished, and 'perfect' before getting external feedback. But I’ve learned that early playtesting is an absolute game-changer. When you open your game up to real players early in development, you can catch problems before they become expensive to fix. You also get the invaluable opportunity to see how real users interact with your mechanics. And that’s where the magic happens — you’ll gain insights into what to prioritize in your game, ensuring you focus on what truly matters for your players It’s a wake-up call that can spark major improvements in gameplay and design. Playtesting isn’t a nice to have. It’s a must-have. Let me help you set up your first playtest. When was the last time you did a playtest? If you haven’t yet, let’s talk about how early feedback can improve your game. #Playtesting #GameDev #PlayerFeedback

Catch Phrase Three people start on stage for this scene game. The host asks the audience for two simple statements and two simple questions. Examples of sentences could be “Why are we stuck here?” and “Look behind you!” One statement and one question are given to two players, and they can ONLY use these catch phrases during the scene. They are allowed to change the inflection and punctuation, but they can’t change the order of the words. The third player has to try and have a normal scene and can say whatever they want. https://lnkd.in/ekm2XYDM #improvgames #improvtips #shortformimprov
