World of Goo Design Tour

Wolfire’s David Rosen has started something cool: a “design tour” of innovative games, where he examines their design choices and shares the lessons on video. His tour begins with World of Goo, which is rife with interesting design decisions. As far as reviews go, I think it’s tops – David’s analysis is spot on, friendly, and feels like it is thinking about the game from both sides of the screen. Great work!

Its funny how he praises the level titled “You have to explode the head” for its originality and exellence. Has he never played You have to Burn the Rope?! It is clearly a tribute to that. What ignorance and audacity! That clod!

So refreshing to hear analysis of a game rather than one persons opinion. Would love to see more of these.

There’s such an overabundance of shallow review videos out there already- it’s about time someone started making videos that are more friendly investigation and less Olympic judge panel. I look forward to the next video in the series.

That’s a really interesting idea. It’s almost refreshing to hear someone else’s point of view, and comment on less highly scrutinized things like the user interface and loading screens.
