That's a hidden gem if I've ever seen one. Big shame on youtube algorithms that this channel didn't take off. Would love to see channel's come back though. In any case, huge thanks for your hard work, I definitely will be back to rewatch your stuff!

Looks like they only ever made 6 videos before calling it quits. Not really the YT algorithm's fault.

I've recently found out that I need a central story to enjoy the game. The games without one, like Kenshi, I call them "entertain yourself" games. I don't like playing them. But I also don't like stories that are too linear. Sometimes the main quest is structured in such a way that leaving main road to explore is completely kicking me out of immersion. "Your daughter/son/whoever is missing!" "Sure, just let me first spend a whole in-game month playing minigames, finishing every side quest in the area and collecting money to buy the best sword i can"

One of the best KZread recommendation I got in months. Many thanks for this well polished video/interview/essay

Thanks for watching-- I'm so glad that you got something worthwhile out of the video! Best of luck with your own design work. - Stephen

this was a pretty great video. I zoned out at the end and was left thinking when the video ended. And that's a powerful feeling. Greatly put together

Wow, thanks so much. That's the feeling I want to have after a video, so it means a lot! - Stephen

Such a chill video but so much practical advice when it actually comes to making games. Hope there will be more content to come :3

A game's sound effects and music stay with me the longest out of any other component.

This video is such a good find, I'm glad I found it today!

*Feel is literally Everything, especially for single player games. Killer Is Dead, Lightning Returns, Hitman Absolution, Control, Mafia 3....all games that aren't considered the best but I loved them because they capture a certain Vibe and Feel perfectly* 👌

Rand and Robyn, you at Cyan say worlds are the power of games, and I've got to say you at Cyan are genuine masters of that particular power. Your worlds have for a long time amazed and inspired me. Kudos. Also got to say, glad whoever edited this set of interviews, you should have a more popular channel than this because it is all masterfully edited. Loved the inclusion of the clips from Outer Wilds too as that was such a beautiful, impactful indie game very much hits that feeling of venturing into a mystery and the unknown and learning about what's going on as you explore. That feeling of exploration and discovery, is a thing that ties together many of my favorite games IMO.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment! It's very satisfying to know that these creators and principles resonate with other people too. - Stephen

What a great video! Thanks for the free resource.

Wow! Oh, I heard the opening and even with the blank screen I was like “I know this game. I love this game.” I clicked on this video not knowing if the person who made it would have credentials and it turns out the video is overflowing with credentials. I really got lucky on this one. This was so interesting.

Absofuckingly great ! This channel is amazing ! Good work !

A lot of great advice here, and a very well-made video!

Awesome video. Thanks for the awesome content! I also made a game design video on breaking down complex shots in easy to follow steps. Hopefully it's as useful as this video!

Very attractive

bad sound

These "principals" are too vague to be useful for anybody. Real game design principals are thing like form-fits-function, IDID mechanical design, minimum difference, etc.

That's an interesting point. Maybe "principles" is the wrong word, although I'm still not sure what we would have named the video otherwise! - Stephen

This doesn't help me at all
