You’ve said before that modern games, even single player, will track player data. What sorts of things are actually logged? What do you think are some of the things players would least expect to be tracked?

Ask a Game Dev

We spend a huge amount of time and effort tracking all that information because we want to know what the players are spending their time doing in order to figure out what kind of new content we think they will like. I think most players don't really understand how much tracking we do for UI/UX.

The Forgotten City (2021) revisited

Radiator Blog

From a game dev perspective, it's been fascinating to play. In this post, I compare and contrast the original and this modern remake from a dev / design perspective. Interesting approachability / accessibility UX here. Felt like they had to cut down 50% of their planned content, which is never easy.

My friend is making an arcade racer and I’ve been playtesting his builds for him. He didn’t go into it thinking it’d be easy but there’s a ton of things he didn’t at all realize would be a headache going into it. Obviously all games are hard to make but some are more apparent about their daunting nature. Which genres are deceptively difficult even if reasonably possible by a small indie team? What surprised you when you hit the big leagues?

Ask a Game Dev

Whenever I do solo dev work, the feature that always takes the longest and tends to require the most work to get something playable by actual players is the UI. Small-team dev also tends to build more system-driven games because it's more dev-time-efficient than creating single-use narrative-driven content.
