I posted a couple of older game concepts to my Artgram profile:

"XP for Reported Treasure" – is a thing I will try out soon when I run Village of Hommlet in Blueholme (Holmes D&D).
Spend a turn (10mins) to inventory/sketch treasure in situ, then tell people about it when you return to town in exchange for experience points.
Treasure you bring back with you is just treasure.
This feels like it should work fine. I'll report back on how it goes.
Designing a battle system that is easy to learn, quick to play, and also allow for a really broad cast of characters was an interesting challenge. I hope to share more here and get some #gamedev and #gamedesign conversations going! https://patrickcurry.com/bacchus/
I find myself wanting to discuss #gamedesign more lately, but all of my work projects are secret. So I sat down and designed a new tabletop game, and I'm sharing it here, asking for feedback, ideas, and comments. https://patrickcurry.com/bacchus/

PBTA thought, I'm not sure it's new or anything but why are there stats even? Like what if you just had bonuses and penalties and you just applied them to the moves themselves?
If anyone's been talking about that, happy to read what they've been writing on it.

Yesterday, I started work on a untitled witch game, made in Scratch.
Inspired directly by that old Star Trek mainframe game, I decided to go with a witchy/wiccan theme, using the provided and pretty assets. I've wanted to make a game with this theme for a while, so I'm glad I'm getting some work done on it!
It's VERY early, so nothing even remotely fancy yet, but I like that I've got some basics down.
This thing stamps well

The fundamentals are all there. What our game is missing most right now is gameplay-oriented polish. If you have a knack for “juicing”, please get in touch!

If you're a tabletop gamer with much of a collection, you know how easily small boxed games & card games can be overlooked & forgotten on the shelves.

I'm considering adding procedurally generated items/"blocks"/recipes(seed specific)
Might be a bit hard/weird to design, but it has a lot of potential for improving variety & exploration(especially with all the different options for new worlds / challenge modes)

Neat free & online workshop:
"No Hero is an Island: How Diverse Ensemble Casts Create Living World" by Desiree Cifre
"In this workshop, Desiree will talk about how an authentic, diverse ensemble cast can create worlds that feel alive, beyond genre clichés. She'll demonstrate this concept using a variety of game examples, as well as, delving into her firsthand experience with the Studio Drydock and their witchy farming sim, Wylde Flowers."
I am not sure if will it be in the game or not, but I found out interesting ability with a roll.

Hello! I'm the executive editor of an indie #magazine specializing in dark #speculativefiction. (We pay semi-pro rates, so #writingcommunity, add us to your submission list!)
In an effort to stop using Midjourney for clickbait art on our site, I'm learning #pixelart and hoping to expand my #gamedesign skills. Here's one I made yesterday for an upcoming #shortstory by Greta Hayer titled "How to Determine if Your Grandmother has Been Replaced by a Fairy and What to Do About It."
My favorite places on the internet are Tumblr and itch, so I'm very excited about this community.

Also, Nick Yee wrote an excellent article on how different genders have different motivations. I feel that as more genders with a more diverse cultural conditioning is taking up the aging space, the ore critical it becomes that these categories are not blindly applied. We'll just end up with a bunch of games designed for predominantly male players, with less targeted options for other genders. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #gender
Anyone else find it problematic that the #UnifiedModel of play styles only references categories that are older than 2005? Granted, Nicole Lazarro is a woman, but in 2005 I was the only woman I knew that was a hardcore gamer.
I kind of feel that cultural conditioning of preference in the male domain influenced all the categories. I don't see myself in any of them.

Hoo boy it was one of those busy hard weeks at work. I’m pumped for the games we’re making, but #gamedev and #gamedesign is difficult, and things rarely go to plan. Our games aren’t announced yet, but I have some observations worth sharing! …
It's time for #ScreenshotSaturday!
Take a look at the early screenshots of our upcoming game.
And of course, don't hesitate to share screenshots of your games!

Today I feel determined to have a good game dev day but I'm not sure what this would look like? Should I code only to find I'm no good at it? Work on graphics at the wrong resolution? Record music in the wrong key? Maybe design a scene that I'll later realise is unnecessary? Perhaps spend all day on a bad animation. The endless possibilities...

#BoardGames idea: Mend
There are plenty of engine builders out there, where typically you get your engine up and running and then get to turn the crank once or twice before the game ends.
What if, instead, we had an engine maintainer?
Your economic engine would be up and running at the beginning of the game. The task is to maintain it by:
Repairing or replacing components that wear out over time
Performing preventive maintenance to prevent wear
Fine-tuning the engine’s efficiency
Adapting the engine to a (relatively slowly) changing environment
Occasionally recognizing that an entire multi-component part of your engine needs to be replaced. You’d want to cannibalize what you can to both avoid the expense of buying new things and the cost of disposing of waste; limited space means you do have to get rid of your waste.
Thoughts? Does it already exist?
ok so the demo (for my beautiful new game) is going to launch within the next few days...
itch first (because it's gentle there)
then steam (so i can take my time to do it right)
i'm hyped! watch this space!! 🎉✨😱🥳

I've been mulling this morning on a phenomenon I've seen in game design:
Designers with little experience in the subject of their design often make games that, while fun, can make it harder for the people who know something about the subject to suspend disbelief.
Conversely, people making games about their area of expertise can fall into the trap of over-simulating and making an accurately detailed game that isn't much fun to play.
Balancing the two takes a lot of skill!
Currently I am working on a boss fight

2023 sparked the return of the game manual and I’m absolutely up for it.
Is it just me or is anybody else greatly bothered by 6E's "every feature you have that does anything remotely magical is a spell" design trend?

Free Texture Packer: Ein Tool (nicht nur) für Pixel-Artisten
Gar nicht so selten stehe ich vor der Aufgabe, aus einer Bilddatei (die meist euphemistisch »Sprite Sheet« genannt wird) einzelne Tiles oder Sprites extrahieren zu müssen. Bisher habe ich dazu in der Regel Tiled genutzt, doch da das Programm dafür eigentlich nicht gedacht ist, war die Bedienung doch recht umständlich. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023041902_tool_fuer_pixelartisten/ #GameDev #GameDesign #Sprites

Has anyone ever calculated something like "batting average" for commercial #GameDevelopers? Mobygames plus metacritic should contain the data to know who had worked on the highest rated games over time, yeah?
Thinking about the "spikiness" we see in the careers of Big Names who get one hit and go on to produce a series of failures -- reflecting a core misunderstanding of how game development works. The names in such an analysis might be surprising.

New #introduction post! 🏳️⚧️💜🏴
Hi, I’m Jade! I’m an authentic, empathetic, and passionate technologist, creative, writer, and activist, with a lot of broad interests.
I’m particularly passionate about #privacy research and education, especially as they relate to marginalized people and other at-risk groups. During the day, I work in #cybersecurity as a #GRC and IR analyst.
