There was a fantastic microtalk at GDC this year about player trust as a currency.
@tduringer.bsky.social led with "trust is a currency", which was perfect because every other topic was about either building that trust or "spending" it to break the rules.

tbf you gave me my first gdc ticket so you did cause wokeness in video games

I loved the person at my GDC talk who couldn’t tell if I was joking or not about the sheer amount of content we put into excel (it was factual)

Like, it should be a place for industry folks to talk about things (at least - things they can talk about). Neat articles about design, interesting GDC/etc. talks, strategies for work/life balance... the same sort of things you see at GDC or on gamedev Bluesky, really

I think @lucawriting.bsky.social has a line about this in a talk series for GDC, but when hiring for games my first question is something along the lines of “what’s the last book you read and what did you like about it”
if you're a writer the single most valuable thing you can do for your mind is put it to as much non-writer-specific stuff as possible. do not hang out with other writers exclusively. do not for the love of god publish something called like 'What We Write About When We Write About Writing'

Anyone got favorite GDC talks, blog posts, or other teaching resources for gameplay/combat design? Or balancing that stuff for competitive play?

Just watched this retrospective from Robyn Miller at the 2015 GDC on the making of #Myst.
It's great to see so many things remain so relevant: branching narrative challenges, world-building insights, and more.
Surprised to hear that they'd originally planned to have no music.

Naw, I’ve yet to go to GDC one day. I assume it was probably Mikk and maybe Robert and Rostov? I also forget who went where which year.
