The art of substraction

Show, don't tell.

Think outside the box

The player is also human

The details matter

If you are going to do it, do it well.

One Mechanic.

Carrot and the stick.

Beauty in simplicity

Name a better opening act

the theme makes the difference

If you are going to Recycle, do it well.

It's the little things

Games are also software

The steps, the slashes, the effects.
Near-perfect technical details.

If the player is going to do it a thousand times, it has to feel great a thousand times.

Focus on one thing and do it well

The mechanics are the narrative

"All ghillied up" is a masterclass of design.

Failing is also part of the game.
