I'm teaching my mom to play video games (first time ever) and she is STRESSED
The deep game design questions coming at me right now. "In video games, is it typical that you can use a resource and then when you go back to it will it be there again?"
We've tackled why different consoles have their own controllers, "you're supposed to use your thumbs the whole time?", what completionism is
I am getting a lot of why questions lmao 😩 doing my best here like "sometimes people enjoy playing in this kind of way..."
I made the mistake of telling her jumping is often a hard part for people "in video games" (every question is like "in video games are you supposed to...") and now she's like HERE'S A JUMP every time
Questioning my choice to make a highly exploratory artsy little game (Journey) my mom's first video game but I think it's right 🙈🙈
@grimalkina Consider checking out Unravel if it's available for your console - beautiful story and artwork and music and I'm not ashamed to say I cried a little at the end ...
