Suddenly the gravity of the situation sets in, the game gets more serious and the QR codes start getting scanned. It’s really something else, @mattleacock.bsky.social and @baddeo.bsky.social knocked it out of the park.

Anyway, lots to think about. Thanks Jillian!

Got it, I’m understanding what you mean! Thanks for the response.

From my collection, Daybreak does this really well. Every time I’ve taught this game, without fail, there’s a gasp at the table when we do the first emissions stage.

Would you be willing to give a generic example of something you’ve seen in a game recently that shows empathy in design?

I would definitely read a whole thread on this. I’m new to game design and this isn’t something that I’ve come across yet

We play on a circular table that is 42inches in diameter. Arcs, for example, requires side tables for each person to comfortably play with 4 people.

I believe 11sq feet is almost 1 foot too big for our gaming table.

Question! Does mouse mode on switch 2 work for rise of the golden idol?

Finally completed a tutorial map in Corps of Discovery by @senfoonglim.bsky.social and @offthepagegames.bsky.social. It’s the first time I felt like running a gauntlet during a tutorial πŸ˜…

My goodness, I am terrified of what this game has in store for me. I can’t wait to continue

Congratulations, Jeff! Excited to pick this up and give it a go with our group.

Ive only played the gang here, and it’s really something special. The ability to bring it to the table with truly anyone, even our older relatives is like magic.

Can’t wait to get this to the table. Love your writing, this is a great piece.

I’ll be there! Hopefully early enough to snap a copy. Excited to see it πŸ•ΊπŸͺ©πŸ’ƒ

I understand the amount of time these videos take, but I wanted to express how appreciative I am for how much you’ve shared and I can’t be the only one. Trying to be better about liking and sharing and commenting to let you know we’re out here is something I plan to do for everyone I learn from.

Your videos also have a tone that is unique to educational YouTube videos. Less β€œthis is the way” and more β€œthis is how I’ve done it” that lights my mind on fire to be more exploratory when I’m examining my designs or trying to learn from others.

Hey Matthew! No suggestions, i wanted to share how important your videos have been to me.

I find your videos very inspiring and educational. They’ve helped me reevaluate my assumptions as I’ve gotten into design and have helped me open my mind into why or how something was done, or CAN be done

Awesome to see work work work being played. I’m currently getting through my LOK book and loving it.

Congratulations! I got to play compile for the first time recently and it was really great. Can’t wait to play more.

Truly cannot wait to get this game. It looks phenomenal
