Just a quick update for the channel:

Soon I will be winding down with Silksong content. Kinda went a bit crazy with it... I've been waiting for this game, like many, for a very long time, and objectively I think there is a lot to talk about with it. I think there are still a couple of ideas I want to archive in shorts form on the channel, but other than that I have one big video I'm releasing in a few hours which I think does a good job at summarizing the difference between Hollow Knight and Silksong, and what lessons people could take from it when considering the design of a sequel.

Once the last couple of shorts are up, as well as the video, I have a couple of other games I want to dive into really soon, so unless I find something towards the tail end of Silksong that I just feel like I need to archive, expect the Silksong saga of GDL to be coming to an end relatively soon.

In saying all that, welcome all new comers, I am NOT a Silksong channel, so hopefully you enjoy learning about game design on any other game that isn't Silksong!

I have once again spent way too long on a subject which maybe doesn't warrant it? Who knows. Either way video is delayed until tomorrow like last week. This video is going to cover how the Frog Detective games work. See you tomorrow at 6pm BST!

NEW VIDEO OUT TODAY at 6PM BST - Sorry for no upload yesterday, which is the usual day for a main video to go out. I was working hard on this video and by the time the cut off was rolling around I still needed more time on it. Hope you enjoy, it's a bit different :)

I kid you not, for one of my most recent interviews for a game design position, when asked what my favourite game was at the time I said Stick of Truth, the combat in that game, though simple and TTYD did it first and arguably better, is so well done!

But yeah for the meme I'm joking, sorta.
