Reply to [Crash][1.0] Campaign in FE Support Stardock Forums

Sorry to say Leo, but that save isn't crashing for me either... :( Could you try entering the battle, and then autoresolving to see if it still crashes for you? That's what I'm doing, instead of playing through the entire battle. - Jon

Reply to The birth of a Game Designer in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

[quote who="Jon Shafer" reply="19" id="3231064"]I've written a number of articles on game designer over at my website, which I suppose you could say are from the perspective of a systems designer. I've also talked about UI in scattered bits up to this point, but stay tuned because my next article will be entirely focused on how to build a good game UI.[/quote] In case anyone is still waiting with bated breath for this, I just posted <a href="http://jonshaferondesign.com/2012/0

Reply to The birth of a Game Designer in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Great article Derek! Yeah, I suppose you could call me a systems designer. Strategy games are such big, complex beasts that focusing on the details first sounds like it would make the job a lot harder, but that's just me. ;) If you dig deep enough though, I may not actually be a systems designer at heart - while my primary focus is indeed systems, when designing I always start by coming up with general ideas for what might make a feature cool or interesting, and lay the systems upon that
