Re: Game design (and art) and audience compitency
I definately know where youre coming from and its something I often think about. Although those thoughts arent composed enough at the moment to write a decent arguement about it. TF2 was a game I had a fair bit of beef with originally because as an experienced FPS'er it was all too easy to jump into. Sure, I had come from… -
Re: Game design (and art) and audience compitency
