Randomness and Player Agency with Calum Taylor Oct 24, 2018

Show notes

Calum Taylor, designer of Motora, talks about balancing luck with player agency.
It’s good to have luck to keep a game unpredictable, but if it goes too far, players will feel like the game is playing them. You need to make sure players feel in control while also allowing for cool “plot twist” moments.
