Guten Morgen! ☕🎮
Kleines Gaming-Wissen für heute: Die ikonische "Hyrule Field"-Musik aus Ocarina of Time wurde so komponiert, dass sie nahtlos loopt – ohne wahrnehmbaren Übergang. Miyamoto wollte, dass Spieler:innen einfach... existieren können, ohne Stress.
32 Jahre später bauen Indie-Devs noch immer daran, dieses Gefühl nachzuahmen.

Just stumbled across a preview for #MastersOfAlbion, the new #godgame from Peter #Molyneux and #22Cans. It mixes #citybuilder, #towerdefense and god game mechanics, very much in the spirit of #BlackAndWhite and #Fable. Currently in #EarlyAccess on #Steam.
#BlackAndWhite was one of my favourite games ever, and even though Molyneux does not always fully deliver on his promises, he remains one of the most important and visionary people in #gamedesign. That alone makes this worth watching.
The preview is pretty honest though: #AI is dumb, lightning powers miss constantly, towers barely shoot, and the interface is clunky.
Promising but clearly unfinished. Watching from a distance for now.

Design Principles M-3: The Shelf-Stalker has no tell. No growl. No posture shift. Nothing that says "this one is different."
That's not an oversight in the design. That's the design.
The most dangerous thing in the room is the one that looks like it belongs there.

System Hack: Mashups
Hobby games is a pretty broad field, with both upstarts like TTRPGs and trading card games as well as board and miniatures games which go back decades further. The whole field is brimming with designers taking their ideas about set, setting, and mechanics and committing them to cardboard and plastic, creating new and weird accessories or just sticking with humble dice and meeples. When you combine the recent renaissance in hobby board games (driven, like TTRPGs, by Kickstarter and the internet) with a few decades of family board games that everyone seems to have kicking around, there’s a lot of potential just sitting there. TTRPGs are just as able to use weird, custom accessories as any board game, and in some cases all it takes is one designer with a weird idea to make something new. Where I think is the most fertile ground is the RPG mashup: taking accessories you may already have in your game cabinet and making new games with them. The hobby has figured out this works great with Jenga, and as you’ll read about in a moment, someone is trying it with the classic family (dis)favorite Monopoly. As far as other games, the sky’s the limit…but there is an extra layer of challenge involved with taking an existing game and both changing the experience while preserving the original bones.
