Defenestration is an art form that few can claim to have mastered. On one hand it seems oh-so simplistic, you just push people through windows, right? Well, if that's the case, how can Tactical Breach Wizards design an entire game around it, and how can this single idea outlast some games with worlds the size of galaxies and an infinite variety of things to do?

The answer, is Novelty - a little-understood facet of videogame design that we've been ignoring for far too long. Far from being the jingly keys of the videogame world, novelty is the centerpiece of some of the most endlessly fun videogames out there, and The Architect has braved infinite worlds, lands made of tiles and a few Japanese real estate auctions to prove to you just why it matters so much.
