    • @GaussianEntity
      @GaussianEntity 3 місяці тому

      You do realize that it's the same reason it was approachable in the beta that also tanked its future growth. Its simplistic design bled too far into the future and Ben Brode himself expressed a lack of desire to implement more user friendly features (deck slot debacle, being able to copy decks, opening multiple packs). When the newer devs finally got around to it, they had to work with the old code, which isn't always something that works out smoothly. You saw it when they first implemented the tavern pass and the mess it was.

    • @anthonypillarella

If your previous design doesn't allow for ways to easily add on new features, you're obviously going to have a hard time. Why else would Ben Brode push back against adding more deck slots? "Too confusing for new players" isn't an excuse unless the real reason was that you had to break your game in order to do that.

    I love your highlights
    And man, the deterioraiton of HS's UI is sad as fuck. I remember this being by far the the most approachable game.

    What a perfect demonstration of assumed knowledge mixed with poor ui design. This is such a great video.
