We’re currently developing a mini open world local co-op called Bugging Humans. It has a shared asymmetrical UI — where one player doesn’t see the screen but they have the controller, and the other player sees the screen and they have the keyboard. This means best practices, for instance in level design, have to be adapted. It also means blind and low-vision players can play with sighted players.

And if you were in the heydays of Facebook games, you will also remember how the party ended abruptly in 2012. Facebook used games for growth and discarded them quickly as it didn’t need them anymore.

The big problem with manual saves is that players can potentially save in a situation where the game is in an unwinnable state (e.g. save before the player is about to die). For players who like to overwrite their own saves instead of rotating save files, this can result in a really bad feeling and hours of lost progress. One major guiding principle in game design is "make it easy to do things right and hard to do things wrong".
