Design Oriented

Design Oriented (DO) is a company exploring the fusion between game design and non-gaming industries. Currently in a Zelda design deep dive:

This is what we've been up to since May. Talks of the Kingdom is a 4+ month-long game design deep dive. Now that most of us have beaten the game, we're in phase two where we break it all down and build up our understanding.

For less spatially oriented comments, we used the DO Wheel. This will be a great tool for getting into specifics later when we discuss the game.

As we played TotK, we made comments on our thoughts and discoveries on the old BotW map to avoid spoilers. Whenever you do something in a particular location, you can check it on the map to see any comments. Each comment bubble is a thread. Each participant had a color assigned.

I'll be at GDC next week. My company, @designoriented, is fusing game design principles with learning principles based on the modern scientific literature on neuroplasticity. The untapped potential is huge.

DM me if you want to meet up!

FIGHTING GAME Design Deep Dive! Today is the start of our week-long communal exploration. The game is free. The community is open. And the insights are real. If you have ever been curious about how fighting games work and why they're so loved, join us: https://t.co/SjVIl2J9Kr

We have our schedule set up for the week. Little bits of effort every day is all you need. If you get behind, don't worry. You can always catch up.

We spent the week breaking down the game design of Metroid: Dread. Today, we're hosting a wrap-up stream at 5pm central time. Pop in the discord if you want to contribute. Tune in to twitch to chat. Watch the youtube later if you're too busy escaping before something explodes.

[Design Oriented @designoriented]

We're hatching up a multi-week-long Metroid Dread deep dive design analysis on our Discord. If you want in, join the discord, beat the game (or not), and get ready to discuss game designer deeper than anywhere else. We start Monday. #metroid #MetroidDread https://t.co/zQh16NqhLb

We identify the design issues in a game and then make specific suggestions to fix it. You can see below that we submitted 20 suggestions for "lacking combat variety".

My next book 'Speed Boost: The Hidden Secrets Behind Arcade Racing Design' is complete and should go live in the next week. It'll be another digital release (pdf, mobi, and epub). After sitting on this book for so long, it'll be nice to finally share it with the world. Get hype!

@Mandford @Calimari93 @KirbyKid I don't know about any internships, especially during this pandemic season. Though it's not the same, popping around to different design discords may be a good fit.
