Game Dev Podcast | Coffee with Butterscotch

In this episode, we discuss snow folly, changing the game, and deliberate barriers. While we tend to put a lot of effort into eliminating obstacles, sometimes you want them in place. In those scenarios, as with the opposite, the barriers should be designed deliberately to serve the purpose you want them for. Otherwise, you’ll be jumping the worst kind of hurdles – arbitrary ones.
