Hey Guys!

I made this game in Unity however I did a documentary on the game design process as the game has been the most fun game I have ever developed and there was a clear cut formula to do so which I go into in these videos.

ohhhh there actually IS a thread ^^

quoting myself from youtube:
"
I fully agree with what you just said
I also had a point when i realized that its better to start planning games with the gameplay, thinking about what the player is going to enjoy and focus later on on additional features like ai and stuff :-P

I love your swarm beheaviour in the video it really looks awesome ^^

You should make a "whats fun in games"thread in the gs forum
If you want to take a look at some other small fun games take a look at building panic(!!!!) tux racer and amanagi

Btw.: I like unity too =)

Cheers Jannes "
Maybe we should make a gameplay contest :-P

Thanks Jannes and guys!

If you're interested Charlie Mauck did a great speech on how to make games fun, I derived many of my thoughts from his speech:

Hi David,

thanks for sharing the ideas behind this videos.
I think it should become a sticky thread, because the video takes you to the important points really quick.

Great work!
