Twitter thread re-post (05/2022):
"How do games intrinsically motivate players to explore" is a favorite #GameDesign topic of mine.
Many of the games that do this achieve it partially by evoking a sense of awe while exploring their worlds.
Let's talk about how that works in games

The point of picking a top 10 is to limit yourself. But this year, there were SO MANY surprises and delights that I simply couldn’t do it. So here it is: my top ELEVEN games of 2024. youtu.be/7yWJem8Asw0

Ahh Wanderstop by @ivyroadgames.bsky.social is one of my most anticipated games and it's just got a release date of March 11th!
From the creator of Stanley Parable with music by C418, it's a 'cozy' game about running a teashop.
The twist? The protagonist doesn't really wanna do that.
Cant wait!

If you take everything gamers say they want regarding exploration, progression, storyline, replayability, etc., and put it into a game, you’d get Prey (2017).
