005 : By Request! The Game Design of Squares, Circles, and Triangles

Game Design Zen : Episode 005 What should I talk about? When I asked my friend, there was no hesitation – “Squares, Circles, and Triangles.” I asked, “Really?” And he answered, “It was my favorite! You said it would change the way I saw the world, and it did.” Definitely – Squares, Circles, and Triangles (01:50) Interest Curve (03:08) First Idea - 8, 8, 8, … (05:18) Second Idea – 1, 2, 3, … 9, 10 (06:15) Initial Spike (07:10) God of War 3 – Kratos vs Poseidon (09:20) Convexity (10:35) Quests in World of Warcraft Squares, Circles, and Triangles (14:36) Chris Solarski – Aesthetics of Game Art and Game Design Circle (16:18) Square (17:15) Triangle (17:45) See It In The Music (20:05) Zen Spot – J J Abrams – Mystery Box (25:50) Game Design Zen is the intersection of game design, life, and the pursuit of excellence. It is the resource for developers, artists, and designers including the art, science, and business of better games. Level up to zen. The interest curve – initial spike, rising spikes, and a climax (ending immediately afterwards)
