What a fantastic game. Are there any others like it?

This was a great talk. Lots of great insight into leading teams, particularly in seeking out feedback and listening to your colleagues. Very interesting career Josh has had.

That was nice, was hoping to hear more about tech but this is good info anyway.

like counter is currently on 669. I don't want to ruin this number but at the same time cant skip without giving a like.

Why is there boiler and steam turbine generator diagram on blackboard in presentation on game design? So weird and out of place :)

A truly great Q&A

I don't know whether or not Emil Pagliarulo watched this, but if he did he clearly didn't listen

brilliant game and thoughtful presentation

i like how real this dude is and how open he is , tavern keeper has 4 days left for release and i am very excited for it

1:14:12 That was a bold move to do in an austrian classroom.

I just watched part of this again, after noticing a reply to my earlier comment. A lady mentioned that Jon had been ranting about things that waste programmer time, and was wondering what he thought about the idea that maybe people who are playing games are wasting time. Ha! In response, Jon talked about how some games have more value than others and why, and why some games might improve a person's ability to have a positive impact on the world by helping them understand reality better and such, and I think there may be some value in all of that, but I feel there's a fundamental point at issue here: We are not and should not be slaves. We don't live to work. We work to live. Play that does not help us work is not a waste. Work that does not help us play is a waste. The purpose of our lives is not to work and be productive! The purpose of our lives is to enjoy life and maybe try, some, to help others enjoy life too. That's it. That's why we're here. And that's why life is worth it. If a compiler is taking a long time, that's really annoying and is really not enjoyable. And if a person is able to speed it up or make a faster one, that's very satisfying and enjoyable. So it's very worth while for that reason alone. But if it also helps get more work done with the time we spend working, then that's a tremendous boon if it means that we can spend less time working and more time playing games.

Gorogoa is one of the most singular works of art I've experienced in any medium. It's amazing to hear how frequently he made his task harder in order to produce a better set of puzzles. The result manages to be inscrutable, fantastical, yet universal and moving. I admire people who have the skills to produce something, but also the faith that their years of efforts and iterations will be fruitful. I can't wait to see what he does next. Another big lesson germane to game design is to look out how varied and idiosyncratic his influences were. So many games seem to mainly reference other games, like Oscar bait movies-about-movies. Artists are enriched by exploring not just other mediums, but by living life away from all mediums and bringing those experiences to their work. Because games are primarily commerce rather than art and mostly intentionally derivative, and because the digital means or production are less commonly taught in art schools, we have too few sui generis works like Gorogoa.

Thanks code dad.

Amazing demonstration Clio! <3

that sound system in real time is just amazing!!!!

Awesome talk! Thanks for sharing your insights!

I watched the entire thing and it was worth it!!!^^

Mr. Blow is amazingly intelligent and such a great role model. Thank you.

Oh gosh, Ico was amazing. And so was Gorogoa. Now that I know, I'm not surprised one helped influence the other.

Gracias por crear Gorogoa!! ❤❤

I just bought this gem (£3.59 on xbox live). No hyperbole; I was intrigued, astonished and mesmerised until bedtime. Now maybe I will dream like one who's been looking at the work of M.C. Escher, using fractal generator, and reading Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Give this man money, support and freedom to create more!

Sorry for what i did.

Josh Sawyer is the man I aspire to be each day

Does anyone know if he's written out a full explanation for the story/symbolism anywhere? I would actually kill for such a treatment. This game has haunted my imagination for years. It's the only game I've ever played that I would consider not only art, but poetry. It's like looking into someone's dream, a half-remembered scene from childhood. I half-believe it holds the key to the universe.

I feel like Roberts is my (platonic) soulmate. I've never seen someone whose aesthetic tastes (and some of his specific inspirations!) align so closely with my own. I want to talk to him about Gorogoa for hours.

I'm interesting in how much acid Jason has taken. Genius

🤙

It's strange that there were no questions about the symbolism and mystic background of the game.

All these influences show so much! Thank you for the generosity of spreading them out like this to share such wonderful inspiration!

I am just in awe of the talent (genius, really) and the insane load of labor (of love!) behind this game. A masterpiece. It won't age, but how will he follow this up?

76s only goal, milk money.

W I C K E N B U R G R I S E S ! ! ! 👻🤘👻

Klemens is one of the most promising talents developing games for sure, good luck my friend for your upcoming projects! 👻🤘👻

deep and philosophical indeed! Such an inspiring and yet grounding talk, thanks man!

Josh's games are very deep and philosophical.

ok good

Excellent game

1:12:50 if those 1000 items are really complex things that could be valid

Jon has an uncle whose name is Job.

Greatest teacher

This game is cool 34 usd bestbuy 5000 made don't get scammed on Ebay

What other people think, doesn’t matter very much ... I love this. It’s so true. And so many times, we as artists seek external approval or recognition for our work, to the point where we try to please the masses. It should never be about that. It’s about what the artist wants to create, and any perception of success that may follow will happen naturally
