_Welcome to Daryl Talks Games_
Would you like to learn more about the design and psychology of video games? If so, this is the channel for you. I’m Daryl, and welcome to Daryl Talks Games, where I create video essays on gaming mechanics, levels, psychological research, and the interaction between the three. I have two shows:
__Forging The Level__
Do you ever wonder why we gravitate towards certain levels in games? What makes something ”fun” to play? What does Celeste’s Temple have in common with Fatal Frame? How has Zelda’s dungeon design changed to be less linear? I explore topics like this from a design perspective and dig into how developers create an experience through the gameplay.
__Psych of Play__
What cognitive processes are being activated when you play your favorite game? How can Pokemon help you become a better exam taker? How do video games create actual stress, and how can we relate this to real life? This series dives into the intersection of psychology, gaming, and real life application.
