    [Ep431] Measuring Stick Sep 06, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, we talk about reaction times, tolerance levels, and the bottom line. Even with vast resources at their disposal, big game studios can still stumble when it comes to the finer details. In a world where every pixel counts, the tiniest choices can completely redefine the player experience.

    [Ep430] Certified Chaos Aug 30, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, we discuss dumb humor, reading recommendations, and launch lessons. Launching a game on multiple platforms may seem like a win, but the backend challenges of patching, certification, and maintenance costs might just change your mind. Sometimes, success isn’t about casting the widest net, but choosing the right pond.

    [Ep429] Micro Jank Aug 23, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, we talk about code navigation, versioning strategy, and good development practices. It costs something to add things that aren't "necessary" to the core gameplay experience. But those little surprises breathe life into a game, giving it personality and creating moments that resonate with players. Without that extra juice, what makes your game stand out?

    [Ep428] Outrage Fountain Aug 16, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, we discuss Baldur’s Gate 3, bread baking, and player expectations. Success starts with delivering a quality game that players want. Once you’ve nailed the careful balance between innovation and player expectations, all while staying within a studio’s capabilities, whether a game hits the mark or falls short still comes down to luck.

    [Ep427] Blue Ocean, Red Ocean Aug 09, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, we talk about game systems, proprietary code, and scalability. When talking about scalability, people tend to focus on the "growing bigger" part when the actual focus should be on capability. Sure, you can add more people, more players, and more complexity, but should you? Sometimes growth isn't the answer; it's just another problem to solve.

    [Ep426] Leading Indicator Aug 02, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, we discuss UFOs, modding, and Steam wishlists. Wishlists are a sneak peek into how well a game might do at launch. While they can give valuable insight into player interest, figuring out how those numbers actually translate into sales can be a real mixed bag.

    [Ep425] Readability Rules Jul 26, 2023
    Show notes

    This week, we talk book recommendations, sharpening your skills, and code readability. When naming variables, you might need to use more words to increase clarity and enhance understanding, even though unusually long variable names will feel weird at first. When you’ve got a complex design pattern, straightforwardness will often guide you to the solution.

    [Ep424] Game of Metrics Jul 19, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, we discuss game design, artificial intelligence, and performance metrics. Metrics attempt to provide quantifiable data describing effectiveness, efficiency, and quality. They can guide decision-making processes. However, you have to make sure your measurements actually measure the things you’re trying to measure. And ultimately, the most critical piece is how you interpret the data and what actions you take after.

    ## Summary:

    In this episode, we discuss family traditions, keyboard fascination, and unsustainable business practices. Ad-based business models have to maintain a delicate balance. To capitalize on ad impressions, they have to maximize engagement, but the increase in ads can deter users. Either way, SOMETHING is being exploited — there’s no winning here!
