Are Rewards More Dangerous than Punishments? (In Gaming)

[@malcolmduru1854]

I can't believe the thumbnail of this video predicted Pokémon ZA!

[@5ivecats836]

I think something I've only noticed now, I believe n0Rtist creates his own music and uses instruments and leitmotifs from the games on-screen when he talks about them! That is SO much effort that I haven't even been acknowledging so far! I might just be dumb though...

[@bastiancu2365]

That positive reinforcement Stemon definitely reinforces my hype for your project.

[@specter2443]

Love how hopes and dreams is weaved into your own background music when you start talking about rpgs.

[@cosmicspacething3474]

Variable ratios can still be a good thing in games. Like the power up you get every checkpoint in a roguelike, or drawing cards/rolling dice in rpgs

[@ultimaxkom8728]

What is "good" here? Good for the devs in hooking the players with quick happiness? Or good for the player's happy-chemicals tolerance and demands in the long term?

[@assholesツ]

@@ultimaxkom8728 yes

[@ExzaktVid]

Every game has randomness, it’s not all just being predatory and trying to suck away money. In minecraft if I shear a sheep, I know I will get wool but I don’t know how much. That is randomness, but no one is complaining that minecraft is bad because they got unlucky with shearing sheep.

[@rarelyused3]

is that the overwatch theme behind you talking about lootboxes? 😂😂 this is why i love this channel

[@neveryknow]

the thumbnail is so genius

[@shroomking6564]

If this does become an actual game I am definitely going to get it because this project is so interesting

[@hveisel]

What makes me really look forward to playing this project is that with these videos you show how much you care about the genre and that you know the mechanics behind what makes a game generally fun to play!

[@blockeontheleafeon]

1:19 The transition from one song to another is executed really well here. Well done.

[@potatoandthemagicflashlight]

I just want to say I love Behavian’s forms they look so good (edit: what if behavian’s shiny were just swapped I think it could work)

[@JackitK]

Fear of Missing out on its own could make for an interesting conversation about the world of Game Design. Especially in the modern day. You can even start to see it happening to the Pokemon series. Became well acustomed to the term "fear of missing out" just from the Pokemon Go community. They encourage constant engagement with the games with constant events and time senstive activities. Not to mention the way Pokemon are cycled in and out of raids to try and encourage people to play in groups (and maybe even shell out some IRL dollars to get as many of the current big raid Pokemon before it gets replaced by something new.) You can even see elements of FOMO leak into the most recent Pokemon games, with the various event themed raids and massive mass outbreaks they offer. They even started doing events both in DLC and non DLC areas. Which I could loosely see being used to try and get more people to buy the DLC. While not completely isolating non DLC players.

[@lilylunamoonyt]

These kinds of things are why battle passes and events should be replayable after the event or pass period is over, its dumb and casual players like me who rarely have time or the personal space to play games like genshin can't enjoy the events like planned or get something I want

[@chimgar9284]

Great video, from a Pokemon doubles competitive standpoint the reinforce ability and a choice item could be a really good item. I do understand that you aren't necessarily keeping the same items from Pokemon, it just stood out to me.

[@syan2240]

Why did this video only get 13k views? That's unusual

[@mrfurly-id7sx]

the most underrated channel on youtube. keep up the good work.

[@dinogolfer]

Omg my entire soul perked up when you used the LISA soundfont for your usual background music, thank you for giving me this gift.

[@pix9784]

This gave me a lot of insight, I love your videos and I can't wait to see this projects beta. I recently decided to start work on my own monster-tamer game and this video gave me the idea on how I can encourage players to use more diversity in mons from time to time while rewarding them for straying away from their usual team. In order for your mons to evolve, or "upgrade" they have to be put into this stasis of sort where you can't use them for a certain amount of expedition time (time playing in the rouge-like area) and you cannot remove them. So in order to fill up your team you need to give new mons a chance in the spotlight and train up several mons to switch in and out of.

[@brew_toct]

Absolutely amazing video like always, I really enjoy learning about all the topics you go over and how you implement them because of how unique they are, thanks for making some of the best content out there , I reinforce you to continue with my humble like and comment to pump up those interactions and get the algorithm going!

[@EpicJman6]

Can’t wait to watch + glad notis are on 😊

[@Jobroski47]

All imma say is that thumbnail would go hard in a jailbroken 3ds theme

[@5asDMteam]

I like that you use minecraft many times! this makes everything even more understandable for me and, I think, for everyone!

[@maglev0789]

FOMO is a terrifying force, I would know, I've fallen victim

[@FoxGalahArtStuff]

Behavian in both of their forms are so pretty! When I get the game, I'm using one!

[@rainbowsylvie16]

8:23 peshino jumpscare in the creature collector video for today

[@Tony_AM009]

Congrats on hitting 100k+ subscribers!

[@Shamazya]

Love the Stema Mon at the end!

[@SnoFitzroy]

3:19 I think you got these backwards? Sheep do always drop wool when sheared, yes, but it's up to random chance when they regrow it - the point of shearing is that you're letting it live so you can get more later. And last time I looked, chickens literally have a hardcoded non-variable cooldown on their egg drops (although this might have been changed)

[@twinsmama09]

I think it would be cool if your game could be used as a teaching tool for schools. I'd love to play STEMA in science class!

[@NiyiDaNinja]

Congrats on 100K subs

[@eshasunrise]

I've waited patiently, and lo and behold, an awesome video! Can't wait for the next one! Wait a minute... #Justice4Snappele

[@cozydaybit]

Wow love this one

[@greenapple9477]

I want there to be an ability that's like Pickup but guaranteed to work after major battles and the item automatically goes into your inventory. Just farm post game E4 for infinite free Full Restores, Big Nuggets and Max Revives. Lol

[@takenname8053]

This video is a great reward!

[@ZedJay23]

Idk what exactly it is and it could totally just be a me thing, but I had a negative gut reaction to Reinforce form Behavians design I think it was the wings, they’re such a saturated colour compared to the rest of the design that my eyes are sucked into the blue. Another thing that it could be is when I compare it to Punish form Behavian, it’s wings and body blend together, whereas Punish form Behavian has its red wings clearly separated by its black and white body I don’t mean for this to come across as critical and have just a singles persons perspective, the majority may disagree, but I hope you find my honest feedback interesting if nothing else

[@y-bax6450]

Positive reinforcement can also be dangerous for the game maker. I DM a DND campaign and want to give my players cool items and stuff, but I fear that they are getting way to chaotic and powerful. Ha ha

[@tommasolambri3785]

i love your content ❤

[@Amoogle]

The thumbnail was the eternal floette

[@pantheonmaker9437]

Well I got Behavian Reinforce form’s Types right…

[@Scaveged]

LETS GOOO

[@DyxoXinoro]

Congrats on the silver play button! Does that award count as a progressive interval positive reinforcement?

[@EduSolsa]

Neat

[@Absbor]

nice

[@A.R_69]

11:22 Me when free choice specs/band:

[@shellder_gaming]

Cool bowser

[@ThenosM_]

I'm a simple man: I see da nORtist upload, I click da nORtist upload. (also small question: is your name a combination of "artist" and NOR logic gate?)

[@The7thLysineinyourDNA]

It's a combination of 'No' and 'Artist' And it eventually became n0Rtist

[@user-AADZ]

When I first woke up and saw that thumbnail in combination with the title, I was very befuddled

[@AWE-Nessy]

The older designs couldn't be too cringe

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

Its how its used that makes rewards bad

[@papaotchere1364]

Am I the only one who laughed when n0rtist showed genshin impact as he said some games force you to spend money

[@SiddarthGanesan]
