Optimizing the Fun Into A Game - Kingdom Hearts 2's Brilliant Ecosystem
-
A few months ago I participated in a program called The Artist's Way, which is a 12 week program meant to improve your mentality around art. During the first week I was asked to live out an "alternate dimension" version of myself, so I decided to play out a universe where I became a Youtube Video Essayist instead of a game designer. This is the result!
I have a lot of passion for game design and ecosystems and I feel I appreciate these things in a way others often overlook, so I'm really proud of this! I didn't want to get hung up about numbers and views and all of that, so I published it on my alt account where I've done very little substantial work, and it ended up getting a modest following.
If you have any interest in Kingdom Hearts or video game ecosystems, I think you'll really enjoy this!

Dude this is awesome. I've never played kh2 but I watched till the end because it's awesome to hear you talk about jrpg design. I love the idea of making optimization/mastery super satisfying but optional.
