I think he does a good job overall, but often misses things relevant to the practitioner
I'm also wary of the high-level approach because I've seen my share of disasters wrought by designers trying to build the vision without the building blocks, or not connectign them well
I think it best to take stuff like his as you would philosophies about art generally
not good design then is it
And two days after that, Mitch gets mobbed... the left are the biggest hypocrites.
Good to read wide, but never good to take as gospel
oh never
things to take into consideration
Yes, I think so
I've just seen his stuff shared among designers and non-designers alike a lot as normative
It's thoughtful, but also really easy to just use as a justification for your own weak design skills
anyone who views a 1000 mile view as anything closer to the ground than 1000 miles is doomed to fall a 1000 miles.
who are u talking about
There's that in spades in the industry
i think there is that in spades in any industry tbh
i see my fair share at my work
True, but it always feel like a lot of other industries have more...checks on that
Hello world 👋
hi
idk about that, i think you just don't see all the failed projects as much
better hidden
More cheaply failed?
quicker to crash
That's the sort of thing I mean
well some things just have shorter life cycles. anything software based is gonna have a pretty long life cycle relatively speaking
I think it's more to do with it being art vs. directly useful
I have lots of friends in software stuff where they can narrow down what's working and what's not pretty easily
"Fun" is...a lot fuzzier
true
although so is figuring out interfaces that work
If you're in that market, anyway; I'm not sure what your average F2P mobile game optimizes for is "fun"
Yeah, but that has known methods that are _relatively_ cheap to investigate
e.g. A/B testing
true
IMO games are just too expensive to produce
And that will have to change sooner or later
At least for the AAA open-world stuff
too expensive to produce, or are thrown too much money
AAA is bloated and full of itself
