  • Game Feel is that elusive property Game designers use to juice their games. In this video, I get into the art and science of game feel, and how Video games have evolved over time in using mechanics, pacing, systems and effects to craft a sense of visceral engagement.

    I'm studying game design and the information is used from the Game Feel book we're studying. This video helped me a lot in understanding as I am more perceptive to learn through audio and visual means. Great work. Keep it up.

    I think Burnout Paradise had some of the best game feel I've ever seen. I just loved driving around and going super fast, regardless of what the game's goals were.

      I agree! I could spend hours in that game just driving around the city not doing anything in particular. They really made just movement in that game a joy.

      I agree, except that Burnout 3: Takedown I think handled the actual takedowns better.

    The Platinum Games GDC talk is reminding of what Navacanoo mentioned in his Uncharted 1 and 2 vid about "mechanical depth" and "situational depth". It's quite fascinating.

    Amazing work! Your videos are always so packed with information that I have to watch them at least 3 times to soak everything in. And I love how you provide research paper worthy references. You're an invaluable asset to game designers. I'm looking forward to watching your channel grow!

      Thank you so much Trevor! It makes me happy to hear people are appreciating my videos the way I would like, that being as a gateway to the amazing work done by others. There is so much information and literature on game design out there now, I think there's much to be learned by simply compiling , synthesizing and spreading it to others !

      Thanks Vince! I''ve spoken about affective neuroscience in the past , and the utility of emotions, including the work of jaak Paanksepp and Antonio Damasio, but i'd like to do a video exploring emotions in depth. Id also love to explore more conventional neuroscience in conjunction with cognitive science to understand things like automaticity, cognitive chunking, memory and so on in games. Hopefully I can get to those topics in the future.

    Loved your videos. I was for long consider doing similar content (in a blog or on youtube) that focus on estensive research and your videos are being really insightful and inspirational. Would definetely love to talk with you and exchange thoughts about games and game design (I am also an aspiring game designer). Keep up the good work and let me know if there are any ways to reach you :)

    Is that you playing? Did you recover the round? Did you lose the round, but go into hiding for several years, partially out of shame but mostly to hone your skills in secret solitude in order to one day emerge as the greatest Tetris Effect player that the world has ever seen?

    Also, I wish you used these videos to suggest solutions to real world problems. These vids are awesome, but are hard to apply without some sort of "why does this game do this poorly" at the beginning to give context.
