Adam Saltsman just gave the best talk about the process of game design that I’ve ever seen. Bravo.
Incredible investigation of the journey an idea goes through, and smart breakdown of the intrinsic and extrinsic forces tugging on the project. A must watch.
I have arrived in town for GDC, for the first time in a long time!
This is a pretty great video, encapsulating a lot of the problems with how things are these days.

A new person came to gymnastics yesterday and was looking lost, so I asked them what they wanted to do. They said a backflip. I asked if they'd ever done a flip before... no. Somersaults? No. Nothing.
I had them landing a front flip in 10 minutes and landing a backflip by the end of the session.
All on trampolines or into a foam pit, but they all definitely still count.
As much as I love doing these skills myself, I also really love breaking them down and helping other people experience them.
I've decided to make my way to GDC this year. Haven't been since 2019, and I figured I'd give myself another event to work towards, to keep getting my game into shape.
