Playtonic Games
Yesterday, Gamasutra published an article called “Yooka-Laylee devs: 7 biggest game design changes since the N64 era”, where the developers from Playtonic Games talk about… well… the 7 biggest game design changes since the Nintendo 64 era.
Those 7 changes are:
1) Ready-made engines lighten the load
2) Artists need to show restraint
3) Characters come alive
4) One size doesn’t fit all
5) More poly, more folly
6) Detail duels design
7) Secret’s in the sound
