I, Reactorcore, write game design articles by hand and you can read them here:

Throwaway Games Are Band-Aid Approach
[ Ссылка ]

The article criticizes the video game industry's prevalent creation of "throwaway games," defined as short, shallow experiences lacking replayability and long-term engagement. The author argues this approach stems from flawed design principles mimicking film-making rather than leveraging the interactive nature of games. As an alternative, the article proposes a "framework-driven" approach, advocating for building game systems and environments that generate emergent gameplay and diverse experiences rather than pre-scripted scenarios. This method, the author claims, leads to greater player satisfaction, higher profit potential for developers, and a more sustainable industry. Ultimately, the article urges a shift towards larger, more flexible games offering substantial replay value and long-term player engagement.

Disclaimer:
This audio is an automatic podcast created by google's NotebookLM that discusses the game design article I wrote. The two voices are both AI, but the material they are talking about is something I wrote by hand.

I must say as the author I don't necessarily agree with everything they say in the podcast and some parts are admittedly cringe, and they occasionally lie too lmao, but I think it still serves a value to get the insight from the game design articles I wrote in audio form. I'm very passionate about game design but I'm not a great speaker, so this crutch helps me bring forth ideas that otherwise would remain unseen on youtube. I promise there *are* good nuggets and pieces in there, its not completely crap, thankfully.

I recommend reading the written article itself in the link because they include pictures and provide more accurate information than what the AIs say.

I hope you enjoy it, some of these podcasts may be duds, but some turn out pretty good actually. This technology is frankly quite amazing, kudos to google engi's that built it.
