Delay doesn't have a timer

Thank you very much. Very interesting

Great production quality here! Agree with Edward Castronova, if you can't measure something or even test your assumptions, then it could all be for nothing.

me encantó y entendí todo lo que no entendí en los webinars jeje xd mas videos como este!

best video so far

no dark mode? cmon bois, this is just WAY TO BRIGHT

This video and your web app are exactly what I was looking for, I'm not a game designer but this makes me want to think about it. Thanks for this, signed up and subscribed!

Thanks for the books

Thanks for the tool ❤

Thanks it for this super useful video

Thanks for this video I have learn a lot

Really helpful! more videos connecting spreadsheets to Machinations pleaseee, Thanks!

The converter doesn't work as intended

The music makes it impossible to catch any of the conversation. Must be a Christopher Nolan production.

Thant you for the blood and sweet.

its cool but 99 dollars for a month is expensive.

16:25 So all connections work same time not step by step?

Is this game still alive ?

Greate explanation. No idea how it works. Nicely done

Just get a copy of MATLAB/Simulink with Home license, learn some differential/difference equations, and do it locally for fraction of the final cost of Machinations.

Thank you!

Thank you!

What skills and knowledge are required to use Machination effectively?

soulless 4 reference

Is there any way of sending values from unity to machinations?

Yeah, this is why I'm so curious about the title that you use. I always confused on how to simulate player's behaviour to try and balance something in machination. Turns out, it really isn't the way machination is used for. To me, it seems like this method can only simulate 'the ideal' players' with 'ideal decision'. While, like you said, the majority of players wouldn't play that perfectly, or even notice the type of tower that is most suited to be used. Thus, it really is better to just stop the 'balancing method' way early. Stop thinking to incorporating level and coins/option that the players may have (micro decision) at any given moments. And just try to adjust the stage, its reward, and its challenge level according to what experience we want to give (macro decision). This is to lift up the burden of thinking every possible action the player may have, while ensuring the 'floor' will always be reachable (via new tower or amount of rewards). Obviously, this complexity can ramp up massively with any addition to the table, but creating a 'definite design stage' will always be easier to balance. As 'definite design stage' still applicable to infinite waves type of stage (by creating 'an invisible wave' with a few 'alternative wave design' for each wave). I obeserve this kind of balancing from the early games of Arknights, thought it might be interesting to simulate it in Machination, and thought a method like in this video, but always had doubts about it. Glad I didn't try it out myself and finally (finally after such a long time) found this video. Thanks! Seriously, I didn't try to be mean, but it is very helpful to know how exactly a cool tools like Machination works, and the fact that I can stop clinging to this idea of having 'easy way' to balance something.

Machinations process is to games as Schufftan process was to film.

Thanks Joris for taking this initiative. I got introduced to this through the book Advancef Game Design. Hope it was more inclined towards board game design.

Been following machinations for quite a long time. Really an amazing system of analysis for game designers

It's okay, but everything seems basic.

what about System dyunamics in general? Stella Architect ?

Thank you, this is an awesome tool !

June's Journey Fix the game that doesn't work

Hey, great tutorial :D I noticed a typo at 1:18, it is written "availavle" instead of available

I accidentally came across your video, during my work I was trying to find a resource that would simplify the work of the simulation for me. Separately Excel and Google Tables take out the brain. Thank you for creating Machinations

Please put price on your pricing page. It's incredibly frustrating to see "start your trial" instead of actual amount.

This seems like something that could be generally applicable to all systems designers, not just game development. I randomly found it through youtube recommendations and would use it for stuff other than game dev.

Kinda threw me off, because it said 0,4 not 4 at the converters portion.

very helpful

I wonder when Unreal support will show up

Seems like Actions Pull all && pull any are not accessible anymore on this node.

I have loved playing JJ for about 4 years now but they are adding too many things to the game that ordinary people with family and jobs ect.. just can't keep up with. Our group is thinking about quitting because they added a mystery game during the final week of the Detective League which is the hardest week to try to reach Sherlock level. It causes us to have to choose which one we want to compete in but we can't do both because we have to use all of our saved diamonds or buy more which with inflation the way it is now, most of us can't afford it. I know that is how Wooga makes money but they have taken the fun of the game for a lot of us. I know I'm ready to quit

Sarah's eyes are color graded by god! Welcome back Machinations.

Nice and well produced video that feels a bit like just a commercial for machinations. I would've loved to see a bit more examples on how they use the tool in their workflow.
