New video! This video is very special to me for two reasons:
Firstly - it is the longest video I have ever made, both in terms of the time it took (about a month to make) as well as actual length. Put a lot of effort and time into this one and hopefully you guys enjoy!
Secondly - it is the channel's first sponsored video! It is sponsored by JPFans, who acquired for me a Japanese Sega Saturn, as well as a copy of Policenauts, which is a game made by Kojima that never made it outside of Japan. The collaboration has been great, really synergistic with making content for the channel that adds value to game devs, but also works well for them too so it showcases their products!
**ANNOUNCEMENT** - Tonight I will be going live at 21:15 BST, and much like last week, I will be on the hunt for cool game mechanics. If you didn't catch the last stream, this consists of playing a bunch of different games over the span of two hours, some of which aren't released yet, as they were sent to me by devs to provide feedback on them, as well as get exposure whilst the games are still in development.
The stream is pretty chill, you get exposed to a bunch of interesting games, and we get to hunt for some cool mechanics together! If that sounds like a good way to spend your Sunday evening, again 21:15 BST on the channel :) See you there!
Based off your feedback, as well as the amazing peeps in the Discord, I am going to be going live tonight at 9:15pm BST to hunt for some cool game mechanics, as well as take a look at some games developers have sent me :) This is the first stream I have done for GDL, so might be a bit rough around the edges but it should be fun!
This week has been light on content for one reason - I went down a rabbit hole I couldn't get out of. Today - due to the release of How Many Dudes? There is a 5 Cool Mechanics video coming out on that game... any second now.
TOMORROW - will be the release of my longest game design video essay to date, where I look at five different fan-made Portal games. It will go live at the usual time, 5pm BST.
For those who keep track, that does mean that the end of month cool mechanics comp will be pushed back to Monday, I am just very excited for people to watch the Portal video that I couldn't wait any longer!
Firstly, whoop whoop, we reached 10k! Never thought we would get 1k so 10k is kinda insane. Secondly, I want to test out livestreaming, but really want to hear your thoughts first.
So I have two ideas for livestreams, either a livestream where I play a bunch of games to find cool mechanics, or one where I play and give feedback on builds that developers have sent me over the last few months, kind of like a live feedback session which also gets eyes on the title. It would be great if you could comment which one you would prefer to see.
Then we have the poll, now I have preferred times where I would like to stream, and times where I cannot, so below I will list a bunch of different times that I can do, and I will just pick whichever most people can make. This would always be on a Sunday. Sundays with GDL perhaps! Anyway, if you could let me know the times which work best for you, then I can plan out the first livestream (potentially this Sunday) around it!
I have just put a poll together in the GDL discord server regarding changing up the look of OCM shorts, head to the server now to cast your vote! (And watch an OCM short early :)) - discord.gg/AsYgs26JZb
Would people be up for a GDL Discord server to talk about game design and game dev? I know a bunch already exist, but it might be cool to have a little GDL community? LMK :)

So people seem to be happy with the idea of a GDL Discord, so here is the invite link :)
discord.gg/RHABTXE3BQ
It has just been set up, so any tips and advice on what to add or change please let me know.
Again the idea of the server is a place to discuss games, game dev and design, all are welcome :)

Yesterday I uploaded an experimental video where I look at the FTUE (First Time User Experience) of League of Legends. What are your thoughts?
