Today's Critical Thought is both about updates to the channel and a new livestream coming soon, but also about the platformer genre.

Platforming may be one of the first genres in all of game design, but making a good one requires a lot of thought on the designer's side. I talked about the challenges of figuring out motion and jumping, but there are many more areas we can talk about in future Critical Thoughts.
