So... can anyone recommend good articles / talks / books / videos about designing a sandbox game?

@Farbs I don't have the documents on sand box games specifically but I do have a general design document that is comprehensive with audience, player psychology, internal economy/game patterns and more if that would help? (it's notion based but you can just copy paste from the Web page)

@Pixelmixery cheers but nah, I don't really do design by document.

@Farbs how do you stop from scope creep taking over then?

@Pixelmixery a pretty common criticism of my games is that the scope is too constrained, so uh I guess I manage scope creep through lack of ideas?

@Farbs I am dearly envious. I am barely though bug squashing before I get inspired by a new mechanic.
