hey everyone! if you liked the video i'd appreciate it if you checked out my channel and if you find another video of mine that you like, consider subscribing! :)
thank you for this interview! So cool!
Top interview! Can't wait for the book 'art of educational game design'!
I'm currently 1/3 of the way through the art of game design and it's a really great book.
_"this isn't very good... but what if it was?"_
that's deep
The Art of Game Design/Book of Lenses has one big thing over, really, all of the others: it actually teaches you how to design games. In it, Schell becomes the mentor you were always looking for. And not that it doesn't have a philosophy, but it doesn't dwell on theory. It teaches things you can use. It also imparts many nuggets of counterintuitive wisdom, like: the most important skill or trait that a game maker can have is the ability to listen!
I keep getting more and more fascinated as Jesse gets into the "whys" of his thought process towards the book. I deem watching this video just as special as reading the book.
This is surprisingly more enlightening in terms of game design compared to many other great resources.
(Still reading it at a snail's pace, so not sure if he mentions all of these details in the book. However, judging by the topics, discussing these in the book seems unlikely.)
Thank you very much for this episode!
Thanks for watching! Having Jesse on was a bit of a bucket list guest for me!
My sister bought me a shirt that said "Not Seth Rogen" on it afterwards!
I am a grad student at CCA for Multimedia, Game Dev.
And my last class, my professor introduced me to Ai chat, 😅 I was skeptical using them but now it's like I have. All the information I need is a question away. It saves me time on research and it has been an amazing tool.
Thanks for this interesting discussion 🙂
Garry you kind of look like Seth Rogan 😂
Edit: When Jesse mentioned sword play being static feeling in games, I immediately thought about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and how satisfying swinging the Wii remote was to swing the sword. He’s totally right about that.
Funny story.... years ago I was accused of being Seth Rogen at Disneyland and it caused quite a stir of amongst the crowd!!
@@DiekuGames Good man for not exploiting this 😂
Great stuff. Just bought the book!
Great video ❤
Really looking forward to AI advancements. I think that will be big. I also think liquid physics are mostly untapped and have a lot of potential.
