Welcome back to Wait, Roll That Again!

On this episode, big challenges arise in the game design process, which leads to a step in adifferent direction.

But first, Clayton Notestine from Explorer’s Design joins the show to talk about layout and visual design. These elements are really important to a game’s final presentation, so I felt like it was time to start thinking about those elements a bit before it was too late!

You can find Clayton’s work, templates, and articles on his website here.

Then, we talk about making mistakes in game design, and how I rediscovered the core elements of the Spooky Halloween game that make me excited to keep designing this game!
