New Directions

Post-Dare and moving northwards to a new game design job. More than excited ... and feel very lucky to be part of a great company that is really pushing the envelope in game design and the wider remit of interactive entertainment. Hmm, seems like the marketing department have got to me, eh? But no, it is exciting to be getting ready to work on cutting edge tech in the service of game design!

Have just been looking into a few things whilst looking for rental accomodation, readying to move, etc:

Mick West's article on "Button Disambiguation: How to make your game feel more responsive and intuitive by measuring and intelligently resolving ambiguous player control"

cowboyprogramming.com

Borrowed a book called 'Game-Feel' which looks quite interesting. Web link is

Game-feel


looking at the tactile component of game playing. Looks very interesting.
