The recent patenting of the Nemesis system in the Middle-Earth series is a blow to the ecological system of entertainment, where the game business runs the risk of painting itself into a corner. #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #gamedeveloper… katarinagyllenback.com/2021/04/08/the…
it me 🥲
I'm SO EXCITED to share that today is my first official day as a Narrative Designer @SHGames!!! I can't believe I get to work with such an incredible team. I'm so happy to be here to learn, create, and write💜💜💜
It’s been a strange time for games and the games industry. This week we talk about where we see game design going moving forward and discuss the future of The Panic Mode Podcast. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep64
@FreddyNewtonDev @GameAndroidnews @yournextgame (unironically though :p)
This week we welcome narrative designer @gyllenback to share her expertise on how #cognition-based story creation can be used to create meaningful and engaging interactive experiences. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep63
UPDATED LINK: panicmode.net/episodes/ep62-1 (sorry for the technical difficulties!)
@ChrisWood1821 returns to the show to share his insights on #blockchain in game design. And yes, it does in fact have more applications than just safer microtransactions :0 #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep62

This week we welcome @MrHebertPE to the show to share his insights on gamification in education. Scott is a teacher, author, and an intrepid pioneer committed to reimagining teaching in the 21st Century. #gamemyclass #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep61
For our last show of the year, we take a look back at what 2020 will be remembered for in game design and development, as well as a recap of #TheGameAwards. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep60
@ChrisWood1821 @IGN oh hell yeah!🧟🧟♂️🧟♀️🔫
This week's episode is inspired by @juliemuncy23's take on the hyper-realistic graphics of #DemonsSoulsPS5 and what it means for realism in game design in the age of photo-realistic visuals. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep59
Mobile games dominate the modern industry landscape. This week we explore the technologies that have powered or continue to power the genre, as well as the games that have come to define it. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep58
Hey! We're doing the YouTube thing again. Come watch us suffer while we learn to speedrun @GhostrunnerGame. buff.ly/32rOZi3
Designing games for speedrunning is something of a novelty. But as we discuss this week on the show, it’s well worth considering. #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep57
Hi folks, no episode this week. We'll see you back on November 8!
This week on the show we take a look at the oft discussed topic of mental health in game development, and how we can prevent/treat mental health issues both for ourselves and teammates. #mentalhealth #gamedev #podcast panicmode.net/episodes/ep56
