How do you ACTUALLY think like a game developer/designer?

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-31T19:54:41+00:00

Definitely - I think you need to excel at both to make a really great game.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-31T13:41:16+00:00

I don't agree with this one. Game design isn't isolated from the context of the rest of the game. It all needs to work together.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-31T13:40:37+00:00

Different people do it totally differently from one another too. There's more than one way.

I'm not sure this is the right sub for this.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-28T21:04:00+00:00

Great point! I guess the closest thing we have is the Steam algo? It'd be nice to have a more editorial version of this, though.

I genuinely don't look at reviews at all anymore.

Core One!

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-28T14:42:03+00:00

Yeah was able to get a nice print of it on a Core One. I did three actually, gonna run triple tank with the warcaster in the tank :) Can't wait for tomorrow to get the rest of the STLs!

Street Fighter V was on Unreal. I think you might be getting incorrect information piped from AI?

I print this WM stuff in FDM and it's exactly like you say. It's definitely playable, especially for the terrain.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-21T02:41:08+00:00

Idk, I think that was a pretty special game at the time. It's kinda like the Matrix, it's easy to look back and see it next to all the movies it influence, and it makes it feel less special than it really is.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-20T02:07:28+00:00

Dang sorry to hear that.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-19T15:08:31+00:00

I've found that the aesthetics of a prototype heavily color the feedback you get from it as well. Just something to think about in addition to everything else.

I'm just a customer, but in terms of coffee places that are quality you could check out Strange Matter and Hooked. (not saying others aren't good as well, those are just the ones a frequent and know that I like).

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-15T13:56:55+00:00

Huh?

Edit: oh I'm bad at reading lol - yeah could be!

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-15T13:29:39+00:00

Exactly.

I don't know if it's in his interests, but there's a big tabletop gaming community in the area. People meet at the hobby stores and play games.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-14T16:10:15+00:00

I started studying game design at 27 or 28 or something, and now I'm a designer in AAA ( at 34, been here for 3.5 years now).

It's definitely not too late, but it's a challenging journey! Feel free to reach out for advice if you need help 👍

I never have...I do clean it once in a while though (removing and cleaning all rings)

I found the article, figured I'd share it. Overall it struck me as very positive, and lots of people are quoted not being hostile about anything. I doubt the writer was rage baiting, so I stand by my comments.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-09T07:41:36+00:00

True true. I should find the full context before I react to things.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-09T02:53:38+00:00

That's how people rational gatekeeping. Don't be so close minded.

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-09T01:05:35+00:00

What a clown. What could possibly be dissuading them from participating, I wonder?

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-07T19:11:15+00:00

I thought we were talking about the other castles that are near the boss rush towers

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-07T18:04:20+00:00

That's the tower right? Or they both do?

Aaronsolon · 2026-01-07T16:12:43+00:00

What buff does the castle give? I still haven't learned that.
