A talk about fundamental challenges in designing game mechanics. How much do you want to help players enjoy your game and how badly do you really need it? Can you, as a designer, cheat? And should you? Honest game design means that you create a sincere game and let the players in. Where lies the line between developing a game and creating a product for consumers? Technical aspects, examples from gaming history and few backstage stories included.
