agree, dont take advice at face value. you understand it more, so read what is under it

Wingspan is one of my favorite games, it's awesome to hear from the creator about the process.

thank you😁

it's not "unfortunately" that the "game mechanics" are not gonna protected by the copyright. Game mechanics are finite and therefore required to be public knowledge. Same as common words which nobody can "own" specific word. "Character powers" can be protected, though not mechanically but same as any Marvel characters which got protected for the very specific things such as Iron man. While you can have color schemes and simple shapes similar to Iron man, you must have something distinguish enough from the direct usage of Iron man for the "common fair use" which covered all the combination of colors or simple shapes but not for distinct characters. That being said, who own Slime from Dragon Quest? Blue ball with eyes. Obviously you can use blue ball with eyes and call it slime, but not the distinct face of the Dragon Quest slimes. I'll be honest, law stuffs are just too stupid. People are always there to exploit others for their own benefits. It's the way of uncivilized people to make some gains.

16:00 "They don't want to do that... again" I know the feeling! 🤣

A 4% - 8% cut from a publisher should be criminal. It's absolutely wild that designers have put up with such a disrespectful rate.

I really like this video. I think there are many people who really care about the work they are doing and the community they are building. Those people will naturally reach out to creators in the way you suggest. The 'hello sir/madam' messages can just be ignored, as their lack of interest in the community will show through if they somehow manage to get on a podcast. Doesn't benefit anyone...

From someone who sees a lot of fun being cut from video games because they are just chopping up other successful games to take a mixmashed hodgepodge of features and call it a game (while also cutting their creative staff to a skeleton crew) I'd love to show this clip to a board room and other c-level execs at a host of game development companies

There is no political rant at all. There is a thankful observation of spousal support.

I’ve been to Honduras twice, both for mission trips. I love the country and the people there. It was cool to hear you had lived there

This is the most educational video for me that I’ve seen from this podcast so far!

Chess has uncertainty, but that can be mistaken as luck. Luck depends on something random, but player decisions do not qualify as random (even if they decide randomly). Let's agree on basic definitions, please.

Disagree about MOBA games being over at draft. Sure it can influence it, even give you a strong edge; but its never just 100% over off the rip. You can always get diff items or play different to adapt.

I've had a prototype made for over 10 years and has been play tested dozens of times by several people and they loved it. Maybe now it's time to get this thing going.

Would love a crowdfunding guide for boardgames tbh

good

I like this advice. Make an ugly prototype. I said my prototype would be slightly better than WADDED UP GUM WRAPPERS.

Who cares about bob? I am Bob.

12 ads in the first 35 min of video. UA-cam sucks

Most of my more creative ideas come when I am doing something else. Very interesting video !

Wow that video is a true goldmine for someone like me just starting to get into gamedesign. Thank you very much! Also, #46: "Don't worry about art" - I can relate as someone who already spent alot of time designing icons for a dungeon crawler idea, without knowing if the game has any potential other than in my head. But designing icons is fun, so it is definitely not a total waste of time :P

Great video. So enlightening how multi-staged (and complicated) game development, publishing and distribution is. For someone on their first game, you really spelt out what a long and difficult journey it is.

Great discussion!

Game design certainly is a unique niche for a channel. I wish you the best of luck in figuring out how to monetize it, because I really enjoy your content.

I had a job a few years ago where I was on the road a lot, which gave me the opportunity to listen to your podcast regularly. Now I have a job where I am in front of a computer most of the day, so I listen to / watch UA-cam videos all day while I work. So glad I am able to reconnect with your content on here. Looking forward to starting at the beginning and bingeing them all! :)

I agree with Jorge. Having the courage to put yourself out there is tough. Building relationships and networks of people takes time and has to be authentic. I believe that it has way more to do with your ultimate success than any "unfair" advantages that people might be born with though. (I've heard a couple really interesting discussions about how some things that are initially disadvantages can actually turn out to be advantages, because people are forced to build skills to overcome those disadvantages.)

So many pearls of wisdom. Thank you.

20:30 You did it! You did the thing! You said "mechanism", not "mechanic"! Yay! 🎉🙂

On the power of combinatorics: the game 504

Lofi girl is out getting ramen it seems

What if I want to make game that is more like Warhammer, where game isn’t in a single box?

Sir i have a idea about a new board game would you mind listening to my ideas😅

Thanks for sharing! It's good to know to go into kickstarter eyes wide open, if I ever do the crowdfunding route.

Insightful video! Thank you

You get 4% of the profits? Wow, and people say Steams 30% cut is harsh.

Great video! I love the Granny/traitor anecdote 🤣 and the trick of no traitor (I was tempted to do this but the players regularly eliminated each other in the playtests 😂😂😂).

Just stumbled across this video. Thank you both for doing this, this has so much game design gold 🙂👍 and as. someone who is running a game design course as well, it is awesome to hear Jay talk about his take on such courses! 😊

Amazing talk! Lots of valuable insights and tips. Just a suggestion: You should ask concise questions, and give the guest time to formulate more coherent and structured answers. You can discuss it further after that, but I think it's important to establish a clear main answer first. It also fixes the problem of guests' voice getting quieter and quieter the more they have to think deeply while speaking.

Anybody know if Kyle's CCG in a box is out or the title? ... must be Echoes of the Sundering?

I have a hard time creating prototypes of my games because I feel like no one cares about my ideas

3 months pre-order to table sounds fantastic. I think that's what I love about Allplay's recent kickstarters of 6 month delivery time.

Such a good listen.

Hey, your mic is really loud. Can you turn it down a little? I can almost hear you.

Tips: 1) Start your business a decade ago. 2) Work on the biggest IPs imaginable. 3) If you bring your own enormous audience to a design of yours, a publisher will gladly sign your project (and take +90% of the profits). I'm ready to start my company!

literally no sensible board games in my country, but i want to make a card game, just wondering if i should make a board as accompaniment

This is a GAME changing video. Thanks a lot :)

In your first play test of a game you should expect to make it a single digit number of minutes before realizing you need to change everything.

For non english speaking interviewees, i think you may opt to hire an interpreter.

Link to pdf doesn’t work, thx Gabe, great channel.

I like monopoly.
