My design process (Part 1)

Its all about the process! I always create flowcharts based on a hero reference. To many references tend to confuse and make me stray away from the design intent.

Hmm what is this? maybe every single step you do in each level in laura craft go main campaign. and why the hell are you doing this Tim? to be continued...

Im deepdiving in rational game design from a level design perspective. I have made some games in different production sizes and we would absolutely benefit going with a more rational aproach.

@joliemenzel talk some years ago are still very relevant and i feel this method could apply to any genre. we should talk about this more!

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

@lundstroem True that could be way indeed! but thats why rational level design gets so interesting. where you take the aproach on defining each interactions dificulty and build the levels out from that knowledge. if u want to go deeper heres a great talk.

I have lately got very interested in rational design and i feel that we are not talking enough about this when it comes to level design and overarching dificulty.

Any fellow game dev going with this aproach or are u just playtesting alot and adjust?

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

@lundstroem Sweet! i might be wrong in the end but i want to try a more analytic aproach when creating my game this time. My hopes are that it will shorten the period of playtesting.

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

@AnderssonKev Nice! im taking a very analytic aproach this time creating my lil game. my hopes are that it will shorten the playtesting part of the development. but who the hell knows i might be wrong in the end xD

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

Hi there folks its been a while since i posted something about my game. Right now im working alot with documentation and analysis of other puzzle games and i wonder if this something you also be interested in?

PAPERKLAY IS IN THIS VIDEO

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

Worked on spawning and despawning the characters so now they can stick or seperate on all surfaces.

still alot of edge cases to work on but one less down the line! pew pew!🎯

[Tim Börrefors @Choofras]

How hard can it be creating character that can stick and seperate into diferent characters and climb all surfaces.

Next time hold me down!This have taken way more time than expected.
