This week on Dissecting Design, I took a look at Arcen Game's Biggest game, and sadly worst selling: A Valley Without Wind. This is a game that went overboard with replayability and procedural generation, but it did not hook players.

1:35 -- Basic Gameplay

10:18 -- A Valley Without Wind's Progression Structure

31:47 -- A Valley Without Wind's Problems
