Rhythm Doctor game design thread! #7thbeatdev
This quote from Yoko Taro has been a guiding principle for me for a lot of the game design of our games since I read it.
Specifically about the idea of how to do effective surprises in game design
@DeadTheory__@Speedymctweet this account has been great. thanks for recommending rhythm doctor a few times. i was so surprised a gimmick account i followed did that, and i will forever appreciate it
This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
Hello, I'm starting fresh on the new site with a new handle and pfp! Thank you for following me over the years here and reading my 8000 tweets. I made a lot of online friends, keep in touch and see you there 🙏
After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.
I’m crowdfunding it now, please back & share!

it's been years since directly working with him but Taro's game design and philosophy still inspire me so much! If theres one person i would recommend you follow here or anywhere else to know what my sense of fun or humor in games is like, it is him
waou!!!!!! Neo Cosmos officially hit 1000 reviews on steam!!! While Barely clinging onto its "Very Positive" status, no less!! That's WAYYYY more reviews than I Ever expected to see... We're very lucky...
There's the way he names things like 'game desog' that are immediately understandable yet hilarious, the way he has some of the best humour via gameplay. Really glad the DLC did so well too, but having his take on our game mechanics in the form of a DLC is a treasure 🥰
@TaroNuke 🥲 just as thankful to you for pulling it off! its been a delight, and you are a great person i will always be glad to have had the chance to work with
