Ghost Master's Spooky Hollow -- Designing For Fiero
200Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at Spooky Hollow from niche strategy game Ghost Master, and how it capitalizes on that rare sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from a plan coming together -- also known as "fiero". Happy October everyone!
