A lot of people write about games, game design, and what have you, and made me wonder what my voice could add to the conversation. I\u2019m one of those people that tends to remain silent unless I feel I can add something. Twitter (X) never worked for me because by the time I\u2019d seen anything posted, it was almost two days later and anything worth saying had already been said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what is there to say? I\u2019m not sure, but I\u2019m going to speak to some of my experiences in the hopes that someone else might find them helpful. And what better place to start than the beginning. So, I have some ideas for games, and will write about the exploration of developing those ideas. There was a time where I would end something like this with a pithy statement like, \u201cBuckle up!\u201d But, one of the nice things about game design, is that it doesn\u2019t have to be intense. It is only as intense as you want it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-47\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1-1024x683.jpg\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/goldenticketgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/pexels-marcus-aurelius-6787202-1.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\">Dice or no dice, that is the question<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo by Marcus Aurelius: https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/healthy-woman-relaxation-garden-6787202\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because of the recent website migration, I find myself with the opportunity to write again, specifically about game design.
