Rhythm Doctor game design thread! #7thbeatdev This quote from Yoko Taro has been a guiding principle for me for a lot of the game design of our games since I read it. Specifically about the idea of how to do effective surprises in game design

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now, please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

There's the way he names things like 'game desog' that are immediately understandable yet hilarious, the way he has some of the best humour via gameplay. Really glad the DLC did so well too, but having his take on our game mechanics in the form of a DLC is a treasure 🥰

this mini-essay on game design he wrote in the 7BG Cafe server a few years back is still a good game design 101 of his style

Judero comes out tomorrow. It’s all a bit too exciting for us at the moment. Hope we’ve done enough in these 2.5-3 years to make people believe in our vision. We tried our best to create something that is most human and joyful. Hid a bit of humanity in every corner.

Replying to @7thbeat
Coming back to this post 3 years later (incredible that I was able to find it) to report that someone from another community I know published a paper on this effect: forbes.com/sites/evaamsen/20…

It's been 10 years since I made ADOFAI for Ludum Dare! Really thankful for the 7BG team for making it something that's lasted this long, esp @kylelabriola and @giacomopc, and the community for supporting it so much, and all artists who graciously allowed their music in it 🙏

This is effectively the test I was using when developing the custom engine for Bits & Bops. Here is a comparison between what you get by default from Unity and what you can achieve if you write an engine with latency in mind.
also, audio latency in games ;-; • open any game • put your mouse by your headphones/speakers • record audio with your phone • click the mouse loudly • measure the delay from click to sound effect I measured ~80ms in terraria, which is about 5 frames at 60 fps
