A Critical Thought on Lessons Learned from Prison Architect
11Today's Critical Thought turns our attention to Prison Architect, and how Introversion got through Early Access with a big winner. I talked about how they used "Layered game design" as a means to designing the game, and why game developers should be taking notes on it. Multi-system games are very hard to design properly, but building your game as a series of layers can make it easier to bring some control to the chaos.
I also announced a new kind of video I would like to do on the channel: Dissecting Design, let me know what you think in the comments.
