As usual, we kicked off with a few short talks by the developers on some of their process, struggles and learnings. After that, we broke off into playtesting the games, with some snacks and non-alcoholic drinks for the rest of the night.

In his talk, he spoke about how some game design decisions to lock hard mode, easy mode, arena mode and more helped reduce the initial cognitive load on players. These decisions in turn helped make Anticitizen: Red smoother to get into. As Sam says: \u201cNo one\u2019s getting to your last level if they can\u2019t be bothered getting past the first one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5-1024x572.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of David Kilford's game, Blink.\" class=\"wp-image-1366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5-600x335.png 600w, https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/noblesteedgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Blink_NoblesteedWIP_Screenshot__0000_Layer-5.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lamingtongames.com\/\">Blink<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/d_kilford\">David Kilford<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blink is a top-down single-player horror game where your eyes get tired over time, and you must close your eyes to refresh your vision.

He mentioned the very real issue of game developers having limited numbers of playtesters in person or \u201cover-the-shoulder\u201d, as well as the difficulty of remote playtesting, suggesting replays as a third option. With testing for Super Land Drop, David was able to make key design changes to the tutorial level for the game, with immediate results on player retention.

He spoke about the variety of narrative structures found in several other pieces of media such as film and board games, referencing how they had multiple endings or even beginnings. This inspired further exploration through CyberVoid, where there are multiple story conclusions based on how the player impacted the game\u2019s timeline years ahead. To close things off, Josh spoke about how there aren\u2019t story \u201cendings\u201d per se, only consequences!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude, thank you everyone for always sharing interesting ideas and stories, as well as their incredible games.
