I finally hit a stride with Splatoon Raiders, but it took a while. Upon reflecting on my experience, I noticed the cracks and what healed them. This game might have problems, but if Nintendo uses this spin-off as a model to follow, Switch 2 likely has a good future ahead!
This is the first ever Design-Dive, a podcast-type video aiming to dissect game design while reaching solid conclusions, so you can walk away having learned something. I thought I'd package this trial episode 1 as a standard YouTube video, but in the future this show could be available via RSS or your favorite podcast app! Let me know what resonates with you so I can try to prioritize it for future episodes!
Based on the feedback from the prior video, there seems to be enough support to run solo design-dives while I aim to figure out larger hour+ episodes with guests. That's going to take some time to actualize. The aim is to run both kinds of podcasts eventually, but no podcast is officially greenlight at this time. Check out the other video for more info:
