Designing For | Secret of Evermore's Dog -- Designing For Opportunity @DesigningFor | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at the dog from Secret of Evermore, an example of turning a weakness, bad A.I., into a strength through its contextualization.
