    Love this perspective!

    Could even see you creating a newsletter devoted to picking out actionable techniques from different games using this approach.

      Thanks Jasper. Yes, I am planning on that. Currently just taking feedback. What were the best part of article? Was it story or game techniques pointers or something else?

      And If I start newsletter, would you subscribe?

        1. Best part: Pulling out a specific game-design strategy in a game, then applying the idea to your website (e.g. the subtle path guides in Journey)
        2. Newsletter: 100% yes, of course. Always love to support other writers.

          Thank you so much for feedback.

          Newsletter: That's generous of you. But I want to know lil more clearly would you subscribe just to support or because it maybe something valuable to you.

            Most valuable format for me:

            • 1 new game/week
            • Breakdown of specific, effective tactics they use
            • Example of you implementing these tactics in your own work to make the breakdown actionable

            This, I would 100% sub to.

            1. 1

              Valuable. Thank you. 🙌 🙌 I will tag you when I start the Newsletter.
              Taking some time to start because I want to lead by example. Newsletter itself will be gamified as well to make my points stronger.

              1. 1

                Looking forward to it, best of luck!
