So let me put my narrative jerk hat on for a sec and talk about something I think might be the most commonplace way to fuck up the storytelling of your game. It's a tiny thing, it makes perfectly serviceable scenes kind of suck, and you see it ALL. THE. TIME. (A thread.)

This, from Shigeru Miyamoto, on how Nintendo only hires designers who have deep and wide interests outside of video games, to the point where perhaps they don't even play games, is close to the heart of it all.

Thread: Happy 27th Birthday, id Software! I’m grateful to have joined up with • 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚘𝚖 𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕 •, John Carmack, and Adrian Carmack in 1990. Our development of 15 games in 16 months before creating the FPS with Wolfenstein 3D was a hurricane of hard work.
