This whole 82-0 online game I think could easily be distilled into a card shedding/drafting game. Trying to trim a roster of 5 cards down to the best possible team. Almost like Fantasy Realms with an NBA skin.
@Marky_X_ I will keep shouting, Skate Summer. It's a great push your luck with a very underused theme. It's from a major publisher, Pandasaurus, and I'm not sure why it got zero pub. It's a great game.
@sainimatic Man...any tips for feeling easy? I know Maya and Max really well, trying to learn Blender I felt like I was modelling with both hands tied behind my back. Nothing felt intuitive, the hotkeys drove me crazy. I went back to Maya.
@chessandpoker *good* video game design does this, and I think Nintendo does it better than anyone. The way they introduce new mechanics to players works so well. A no fail state for exploration and learning, then test understanding , then test mastery.
