Show Notes
Ben and Hank talk about what serves a competitive play environment for a game versus what makes it fun to watch. They talk about Trackmania, StarCraft, Fighting games, and Magic: The Gathering.
This podcast was recorded before Keits put out his video "Game Balance Isn't Real" which is a move informed technical breakdown of some of some things that underline stuff talked about in this episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCPQGncOx-Q (The language around tuning vs balance would have been very useful)
The "upcoming" season of StarCraft Hank mentions is done and dusted at this point and it was indeed a banger. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo2fPnM8EiQwtydNCqsj5p3XAJSooJwdd
