@oldmanofthefire I can't really explain why, but more and more I feel mood is also gameplay. Games try to give an experience. Interactivity is key, but we play games because we can explore other worlds. They are like real life, but simpler.

though with most of my ideas it is about 80% a mood and 20% how it actually functions, so that's the real thing to prototype

a small combat concept • slay the spire style card deck supplies primary actions • move and engage enemies as in zelda • control of flow of time provides tactical control

I've started making short videos analyzing puzzle games. Here is the first series. If you have any feedback, I'd love to hear it. (The videos are in French.) youtube.com/watch?v=_lPbua…

When I'm making educational material, one of the techniques I almost always use is not just explaining why the correct idea works, but why the incorrect ideas don't work. It's easy to forget that often you need to see an ugly solution in order to appreciate an elegant one.
