What do you mean, the protagonist was shot repeatedly and then blown up?! He’s not supposed to die! He’s the hero! Tell him to get right back to the last checkpoint and do the whole scene over until he gets it right.
Note that if anyone has any suggestions for other video metaphors, I’m all ears. I’d love to get a collection of videos going.
The first in what will hopefully be a number of short videos (some, like this one, not of my own making/taking) that encapsulate a game design related idea or concept very clearly. Think of them as memes with meaning. Which should really be a title of a media studies book somewhere, if it isn’t already.
