Time to talk about one of my games again! In this episode, I talk about "Don't Fall", my board game adaptation of the 2D platformer concept from the video game world. This is how the game has already evolved, what I'm planning on doing next, and what inspired me to make the game.

In this episode, I talk about how I try to improve my own game design skills by actively "post-processing" any game I play, using a simple list of prompts.

In this episode, I explain how the AI in my game works. It’s a cooperative game after all, so we need some sort of opposing force! A major design goal for me is to minimize the upkeep and additional components for the AI, and to keep it simple.

In this episode, I’ll finally tell you how (part of) my game works, yay! This episode is focused on the card play and I’ll talk about how I try to make it more interactive and less bureaucratic, but you already knew that from the title.

This is Part 1 of a short series of episodes that I'll throw in occasionally and in which I'll look at other hacking-themed games, to understand how they bring the theme to life and how my game compares to them.
The game I'm working on, working title “Infiltration”, is a cooperative game about hacking into a computer network.
