Polytechnicast - Researching Your Game Enough to Learn Enough

29/05/2025

Listen "Polytechnicast - Researching Your Game Enough to Learn Enough"

Episode Synopsis






































Two main topics this episode. First it's what I've been learning so far with making small videos while exploring topics like teaching interactive design, show and tell about Word Turtle Island, and even video blogging inspired by the old Art Soundoff creative challenge. Second it's about reaching a point of saturation in learning by researching with people playing my game.
The bulk of this I recorded into my watch while running errands so the audio isn't great, but I've reviewed and edited and gotta say there's a lot of good ideas, examples, and encouragement here well worth your background co-working audio time.
