Hey, it only took us five months to put out another video! Our lives and jobs changed a lot in 2021, so our schedule is changing too. We'll be making fewer videos now, but each one will be especially meaningful to us. I hope you'll stick around to see what happens next!

In Moonlighter, players spend half their time managing items. @DavidPixel explains how he and his team designed an inventory system to make sorting through piles of dungeon debris not only fun and simple, but an interactive challenge all on its own.

Had a fun time drawing @TheVTran for this feature! Really glad to be a part of @FOVGameDesign, helping spread what’s good about not only video games but community within the media as well. Please check it out!

[Victoria Tran 🧋 @TheVTran]

Loved doing this interview with @FOVGameDesign to talk about human connection, kindness, and social media!

Honestly so glad I got to talk about my Ragnarok Online and Habbo Hotel days 😈

[Ziba Scott - Not active here. On Mastodon now. @popcannibal]

Wherein I detail how my mother burping in an AOL chatroom set me on my path...

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

In our first episode about the human connection in games, @popcannibal unpacks the design of Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to) and the psychology of social media. It also features good vibes.

Matthew did all of the art for our debut video and now he's collaborating with the myth and the man Howard Phillips. Help them preserve some Nintendo history!

I'm making a book with Nintendo's Howard Phillips! What were things like behind the scenes at Nintendo in the '80s? This book full of comics, secrets, insider info and more will have you playing with power in no time. #GamemasterClassified

[Charles Griffiths @Charles_Griff]

I spoke to @FOVGameDesign about timeloop-based game design and @SexyBrutale - you can listen and enjoy the (rather flattering) cartoon illustrations here:

[Kung Fu Carlito @pooplos_z]

Here are the first set of portraits I’ve illustrated for this video. Very excited for the work I’m doing with @FOVGameDesign.

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

A warm welcome to our new staff artist @pooplos_z! Capturing the heart and soul of game design one developer at a time.

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

Travel through time with @jwaaaap (Minit), @th3sharkk (Vision Soft Reset), and @Charles_Griff (The Sexy Brutale) as they unpack the design and mechanics of time loops.

The pure Myst experience!

[Kung Fu Carlito @pooplos_z]

@ThePhantomire @FOVGameDesign When I first played it I was at my cousin’s place and I had no idea what to do. I wandered around a lot, pulled levers and hit buttons. Still, I really got sucked into a strange world. I never actually finished it until I played the DS port! Hahaha

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

@pooplos_z @Menchi25 @ThePhantomire Oh wow. I recently replayed Myst with with two large PC monitors, a notebook, and half a dozen sticky notes, but STILL had to look up hints!

- Stephen

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

The conversation with @randemtweets and @tinselman continues as they remember the days of designing the original Myst from 1993. Just in time for the remake-- congrats to @cyanworlds on the launch!

@GjBourn Hey there Gareth, I tried to send you an email from your website but the form didn't feel like submitting! Could I shoot you a DM? :)

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

Field of View's character art is the work of @MatthewPTaranto, creator of the delightful @BitF. This project would be a black void without his vision!

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

@mikerayhawk You do all the wrong things for all the right reasons.

- Stephen

[Field of View @FOVGameDesign]

Our first video explores five game design topics with seven creators. A sincere thanks to our guests @randemtweets, @tinselman, @Chris_Suth, @SuperLuigiBroos, @DarrenKorb, @mikerayhawk, and @Reives_Freebird!
