Are #IndieGames Developing a Gambling Problem?

> Gambling-themed #roguelikes are helping #indiedev hit the jackpot.

This article goes deep on the #gamedesign mechanics that make games feel addictive, and their ethical implications.

I've explored these topics in the context of #instructionaldesign and #gamification where they affect #motivation, #persistence with hard tasks, and #grit.

They put Toadomination on Xbox! And for cheap!! Fans of roguelikes and/or twin stick shooters, do NOT sleep on this one. It's a BLAST- I played it some on Steam. Didn't think the day would come I'd see it on consoles! Another one I've wanted to try for a while, Cavity Busters, is now in the Microsoft store too.

Discovering other amazing looking roguelikes, too - The Lost and the Wicked, Replikator, Undergrave, The Excrawlers, Remedium: Sentinels, and Soul Shifter all look wild as hell.

New roguelikes ftw! (Now I gotta check the Nintendo eshop for all of these.)

@NO_PULSE_XBL #ShouldersOfGiants looks nice. I thought I was seeing #RiskofRain2 for a moment there, and that’s a good thing. I’ll wait until bugs are squashed and then I’ll try it out. I love #roguelikes.
