There's a thin line between players learning via failure and feeling like the game was asking them to be psychic.

@ibogost What's the point of installing software locally if you have to be online to use it?

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

Bottom-up, evidentiary design VS Top-down, genius design https://t.co/DRESZOhr9q

Video games are better without stories, writes @ibogost. https://t.co/TIeHUMp6Cm

@Spacekatgal that tweet was deleted. Could you explain more why it's so harmful? Saw friends using it, but haven't tried it myself yet.

@retroremakes this was my first game: https://t.co/EnpVQBbBxU

@tha_rami glad it's not entirely based on crowdsourcing. But if a fake has been identified by 3rd party, why not remove it completely?

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@BRKeogh but that's a matter of bandwidth, no? I meant that mobile doesn't rely on wifi. Unless you're underground, you're always online.

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@BRKeogh Why would that be antithetical to mobile games? It's the only platform where we can safely assume an online connection.

@briecode Btw this was my first game https://t.co/EnpVQBbBxU. It's meant to let players feel what it might be like to struggle with dementia

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@briecode Excellent article. People say "I grew out of video games", because the medium doesn't deal with themes that adults care about.

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@retroremakes Games are a medium?

@manojalpa yes, that's why crowd ensures coherence. Unrelated, incoherent, abusive contributions fade away. Narratives evolve in real-time.

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@manojalpa ...where the crowd steers the convo, but contributors swap in & out. Eventually a crowd-sourced, yet focused narrative emerges.

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@manojalpa I agree with your approach, but I'm not sure 1:1 is vital for avoiding dog piling and echo chambering. I'm imagining a system...

[Mutlu Isik @MutluIsik]

@manojalpa had a similar idea, but I'm not sure 1:1 is necessary. I agree though that the key is some form of limitation to frame the convo.
