    List Your GREEN Flags!

    I thought given the thread that got locked yesterday we could counter some of that negativity with some positivity! That thread was about red flags (what will guarantee that you don't buy a video game) - let's look at it in the other direction: What are your GREEN flags? What...

    Assessing Enemy Health at a Glance

    OPINIONS NEEDED! I spent some time today doing javascript-y, plugins-y stuff and now have it so that enemies that logically should breathe now breathe. Their rate of breathing is parameterised to show how much health they have remaining. Is this good design or does it betray the whole "You...

    Element States Ideas?

    I was wondering what elemental state ideas people could come up with, as I'm trying to think of simple very basic ones for each element.

    Less Is More: Both Big Numbers and Gods are Evil

    Hi all, Obviously, that sort of blanket statement is never going to be 100% true. This bit of writing is an attempt to spread a bit of a design philosophy I've taken to over the years. By no means am I someone who created these ideas, just wanting to spread them. Big Numbers: Evil I want to...

    Day/Night Cycle Design

    Hello! I'd like to open up a discussion into designing day/night systems in your game.

    How to Build a Better Puzzle

    For my first game I tried to incorporate a lot of mild game type "puzzles" like Hide and Seek, search for the items, input the code you found earlier. But after getting some feedback I'm noticing that the puzzles I made are more of a test your luck or trial and error type "puzzle" and I feel...

RE4make almost had me with their demo until I got to the dog stuck in a bear trap and realized that he was dead and could no longer be saved. Just not the kind of reimagining I'm interested in.
