The Game Before Ball x Pit
YouTube video by Game Design Library The Game Before Ball x Pit

If you didn't know, #ballxpit 's @kennysun.com made a game previously, and it's incredible!

In my latest video I broke down the core design difference between the games and how potentially those difference lead to a larger commercial success!

Underrated avian action adventure The Falconeer just got a free remaster that overhauls 'literally everything' about it: 'I hope and pray this remaster shows the dedication I have for my games' The developer overhauled the game to recover from burnout, which is an unusual remedy.

Underrated, hopefully not for long;)

I'm enjoying Promise Mascot Agency and Pinky may be the best character in a game yet.

So far I've only been able to play Borderlands 4 exclusively in 30 min stints (not including the other 30 mins for compiling shaders), so far it's really fun! Really interested to play with friends and different levels and really dig down into how the level scaling works!

Would you have been fine with the one currency both being died to death, tool usage and as a way to buy stuff? It seems like a recipe for frustration
