Thanks for the comment! Let me know if you have any suggestions for a next video.

Thanks for watching the video. Let me know of any suggestions for future videos or topics to include in a video relating to any aspect of the esports arena design - especially since you are looking at it from a broadcasting and lighting design perspective.

This has got to be the most comprehensive explanation of eSports I have ever seen. Well, done Simon. This is a tool I can use in business and also social service. Kudos!

@reanna-jy2bz Thanks! I appreciate the comment and you taking the time to watch the video. Please feel free to use this video as needed and let me know if you want me to discuss something in particular in my next videos.

Hey! Universal design is when the design is trying to be as usable as possible to everybody - including those with disabilities and postulates that a better design is achieved even for those that are not disabled. For example, a ramp is usually perceived to be only for people in wheelchairs, but in reality those that can walk can use them too and it makes for a gradual comfortable ascension. Also think about the door knobs - the turn knob vs the lever knob. Someone with disability in their hands can't use the turn knob, they need the lever knob. At the same time the lever knob also provides better grip for the non-disabled users. But the trade off are not universally adequate in all situations. For example, the ramp requires a lot more space than stairs and that might be an issue for a building. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions.

Yes, they have manipulated because in my opinion they have had control over the best influential tool to manipulate the masses: money. That is one of the points I am trying to share/explore with this video. Bitcoin proposes a sound monetary system that cannot be manipulated by a powerful few. This starts realigning human incentives to be more creative and provide higher value instead of trying to trap you or cheat you out of your money. I don't think games, social media or even the comments here are inherently bad, they are just a tool that are fined tuned to exploit us instead of enhanced us at the moment.

Thank you!

Glad to help. Which video are you referring to specifically? The one about Design Sketching? If so - here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4S7lYePeN-ritk. If not, let me know what video and I can help you. Thanks for watching!

@@simonhoffiz you said this video would have 2 parts, this video explains design as noun, next video would help design as verbe. So that video I am referring to.

@@arnoygayen1984 Understood. I haven't done it yet. But I can definitely put it on my next videos to make now. Trying to explore a lot of topics with the limited time I can put on the channel sometimes makes me have to abandon previous video ideas.

Hello. I made this week's video the second part to this video. Thanks for asking for the video and I look forward to your thoughts on it. Watch the new video discussing Design as a verb here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIqbpI2CgaeHmJY

@@simonhoffiz wo wow, i appreciate, never thought such a quality youtuber would make a video based on my one comment/ request .

Glad to hear!

also the little round hole in the bottom is a microphone.

Thanks for watching the video! Yes, the design seems to be tailored for party-esque playing. Lol. Yes, UGG seems like a natural fit for the Playdate.

I concur with it being underrated even though it has been out since 2018-19.

It is! We are having game night tonight and this will be my pick for the roster.

Yes, very interesting and engaging gameplay and narrative.

You are welcome!

Thanks!

That is a good way of putting it.

Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

Haha!

Thank you so much! Its good to know you enjoyed the non-AAA design breakdown. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you so much for this feedback and the comment. If you don't mind me asking - are you interested in more design related content or just gaming content? I am trying to understand how to branch out and fine-tune the videos I do within the current resource constraints I am working within.

@@simonhoffiz Hmm, I would say just make whatever you want to make and do it earnestly. Though as for the question, I am more inclined towards gaming related content. If you are interested in the same, then go for it! You made a good video, from however much I could see without getting too much into the spoiler territory so just keep it up~

Hello. I am so sorry for missing this comment. The book is a deep dive but it does a good job in walking you through where you need to be to understand its concepts and framework. I would highly recommend you buy it and read it if you are a designer. It has been tremendously influential on my design worldview.

Yes, its a feature/mechanic that we could be using in architecture these days with our level of current technology and start creating some very cool and interesting buildings.

Yes, its detailing is not at professional level, since it was done by the architects and friends (which I did not mention in the video), but it adds to its organic feeling in a way. Building details are not standardized showing the human margin of error in their making, reflecting the direct human hand involved in its creation and adding the personal touch.

That is good to hear! Hope everything is going great.

Yes, that is very true. Lol

Jesus would want you to play it now

@@bennyblunto973 But the devil told me to hold on🤣🤣

Thank you very much!

I know, my apologies. Will try to get better with timing of videos. Thanks for the feedback.

My pleasure!

I agree. It is going to be very interesting when the genre starts merging.

Yes, other games have preceded VS, but for some reason VS took the right component in their right state and mixed and balanced them in the right manner to become the success it is. So I would agree with you that VS didn't necessarily do anything completely new, but it was the most fine-tuned version of it (at least in theory) and that is usually how in the design world something becomes "THE" defining factor/iteration.

Thanks! I did opted to not talk about the gambling aspect too much, since a lot of the other videos make a big deal out of it and honestly, aside from the chest, I personally don't find a unique relationship between the gambling aspect and the rest of the game design. But interested to know if you do and where? Thanks for the feedback!

That's why all of the games you mentioned are labeled as "early access", VS also was launched in an "unfinished state". The 1.0 version was released last year in October and spent almost a year in the early access stage, also why you get upset over a 5 dollar game?

Breakfast from McDonalds costs $10. A pack of butter is $7. What can you even buy under $5 these days? I've put 20 hours in Halls of Torment and 180 hours into Brotato. Who cares if they're ever "finished". All a final release does it make me come back once more in a year to enjoy new content on a game I've already gotten more than my money's worth.

@@exmello Yes, I definitely think that low price points is a major entry point for this type of game and maybe even necessary as a business model to offer something different and be able to compete against AAA game and carve a niche in the market for themselves.

I do think that an unfinished game will not take you too far as a designer/developer but as a business model I think it is very helpful for indie developers to gain a share of the market to be able to develop the game. And the low price point is a very alluring selling point.

Apologies for those mistakes. Both are errors of translation from my head to English. Will try to be better at capturing these errors in the future. Yes, I agree that this video is more of a holistic view of the design rather than a deep dive into specifics of the design, but that was my goal for this video. I am still trying to figure out the balance of how deep I should dive into any particular component of any of the designs I am exploring. Its good to know that you have an interest for the deep dives. If interested in this type of information, I try to tackle those in my shorts. If interested I would suggest subscribing to my channel so you get those shorts in your feed. Thanks for the feedback!

Hello. Could you elaborate? Interested to know what exactly got a "no". Thanks!

Yes, apologies for that mistake. Translation error from my head to English. Will do better to avoid those mistakes in the future. Thanks for the feedback!

You are welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you!
