One of the things I've been thinking about a little bit with persistent world games is "exaggerated death".
If a player dies somewhere, it's tradition to leave their corpse so they can go loot it or whatever.
But I always preferred the Nethack approach, where you're more likely to find them wandering as a ghost or ghoul, armed up with what you had when you died.
If the death penalty is unrelated to you recovering your corpse, a lot of potential avenues of play/content open up-

🎮 "Game Design Is Simple," they claim, yet the article is so elusive that even the server refused to fetch it. 🤦♂️ Apparently, understanding game design is easier than serving a webpage. 🚫💻

I love the documentaries that /noclip make. They're full of interesting interviews, fascinating information, and are really engaging even when I haven't played the game.
Here's the latest one, about the excellent "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" and how a studio that generally made shooters like Wolfenstein managed to create a fun adventure game with very little shooting and great 80s Indiana Jones atmosphere.

The first Keynote by Kelsey Beachum from Super Evil Megacorp was about importance of the story to be integrated into the game, rather than separated into a story wrapper. You can do so much more than a cutscene!

ðere has long been a #TessellationDiscourse about ðe merits of square vs hex/"bestagon" grids, but unfortunatly few innovative solutions to our dilemma,
Like ðis 6/4-gon hybrid tiling,
Allowing for 8-way movement wiθ edge-adjacency & intuitive shortest paðs
& if u can deal wiθ ðe differing tile types properly, it looks even cooler ðan 🐝gons & has some really good potential 4 AoEs#tiling #gamedev #gamedesign #roguelike #boardgames #rpg #geometry

Rules edits are the least fun part of game design for me. I'm up to v21 of this one. *and it's a kids game*! They're also one of the most important components – the first game is the one that matters to players. We try pretty hard to make our rule books easy to follow, so that's a big factor in the number of revisions.

Perhaps no arcade game is so nostalgically remembered, yet so critically bemoaned, as #DragonsLair.
In "Dragon's Lair and the Fantasy of Interactivity", #MJClarke takes us on a deep dive into the game's infamous design, and offers up a fascinating perspective for us to ponder. 📚
