You can play it in your browser
Though I'd recommend getting the desktop ver since the browser version is funky

was a fun talk, i ultimately STRONGLY leaned into the former but the other perspective was intriguing to hear

I think usage of "intuitive" in game design discussions would be a lot more productive if people separated it into 2 categories - intuitive in accordance to real world experiences and intuitive from past exposure to similar games & existing conventions

I would have not possibly have guessed the Biggest Haters were that young, or that even the 13-17 year olds, while less disgusted, are still firmly in the 'no' camp. Only old people have any real "positive" percentage
everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.
sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again.

I don't think AI will ever fully go away again however when it comes to the hyperscaler focused US-american AI industry with "Open"AI, etc. I actually think it's possible it could go away again

I will not buy any of your products if you utilize generative AI at any point during development. This is unacceptable and a slap in the face of your hard working employees and artists.

Yeah I mean ZUN's already flirting with that shit and that's how it's gonna be - no big event to point to, just a slow trickle in of the tech as people get excuses and then evetually stop giving a shit. As it *always* happens with every negative trend

The big thing lost to history is the early "casual games" and "indie games" overlap.
There were big advocates at the time who thought that indies would be the big winners from "casual games" and "microtransactions" (a neologism at the time)

Think the most clear demo of why you need principles for game design eval is playing frustrating games. It's a powerful emotion but it's also not only extremely subjective & fleeting (git gud etc) but highly dependent on what surrounds it. Distinguishing good vs bad frustration via introspection is-
