I made a game for a game jam! Check it out if you wanna, and maybe vote for it when voting opens? http://pny.lv/js8m

@redenchilada I'll probably get really cheesed about the difficulty but vote for it anyway to support you
-
@northernnarwhal Thanks
-
@redenchilada It's not your fault, it's the intention of your design and it works. I think your games are generally well constructed, I just usually kind of suck at them.
-
@redenchilada Oooh, let's see!
-
@northernnarwhal Most of it's just a lack of ability to playtest combined with trying to keep things from becoming a cakewalk. So I swing too far in the opposite direction, lol
-
@redenchilada I guess if I was better at programming they certainly wouldn't be the kinds of games I'd create but at the same time that's just reflective of my personal creative priorities.
-
@northernnarwhal Honestly, they're not the kinds of games I really wanna make either, but they're what comes out of me when I wanna push out a game quickly. It's just easier to make games hard, I suppose.
-
@redenchilada Yeah, I think making a game really painfully difficult or lazily easy doesn't require too much effort, but reconciling those two to make a game that's both engaging but fair is where real excellent game design comes through. I know it has a reputation for being kind of gruesome, but I actually thought Dark Souls handled this compromise of difficultly really well and had a great philosophy of difficulty that involved giving the player the benefit of the doubt.
-
@redenchilada but. But where be them Equines, brochilada?

@firestormdangerdash Not everything is about the damn horses
