  • Summary

  • In this episode, Peter and AJ dive deep into the essence of game design, focusing on the core principles that make a game fun and engaging. They explore the concept of "striving games" versus "accomplishment games" and emphasize the importance of incentivizing fun behaviors in game design.

    Peter shares his theory that game design is fundamentally about identifying what's compelling and then incentivizing that behavior. They also discuss the Magic Circle, the balance between fun and efficiency, and how to ensure players are having the most enjoyable experience possible.
