Stop Developing Thinky Games for Other Thinky Developers

  • Speaker: Xalavier Nelson Jr.

A lot of thinky developers, especially early in their careers, are making their games to reach an audience of their peers and mentors--rather than players. By interrogating that impulse and discussing the thinky and thinky-adjacent work of Strange Scaffold, I hope to provide a brief demonstration of the wider, broader player base excited to see the future of thinky creations - if we build things capable of reaching them.

This talk was presented at ThinkyCon 2024, a developer conference about all aspects of the creation of thinky games.
