Why listen
Game Design Discussion Time is for listeners who want to understand why games work, not just whether they are fun. JM8 and Psy use a co-hosted discussion format to break down design choices, player interpretation, criticism, and examples like Doki Doki Literature Club and The Stanley Parable. It is a good fit for game design students, developers, critics, and curious players who enjoy analytical conversations about craft.
Episodes
JM8 and Psy discuss Meta Game Design, game design about game design! Including discussions on Doki Doki Literature Club, Daniel Mullen, Stanley Parable and more.
In the first episode of GDDT, J and Psy discuss what it means to analyse games. The differences between games journalism, critique and analysis, how to break a game down into its central theme, and analysing how design decisions help or hinder that theme. As well as introducing GDDT and what their plans are moving forward.
