This reminds me of the AI rubber banding implemented in many racing games, including Need For Speed. Full disclosure: I work as a Software Engineer for Ghost Games and was involved in the development of Need For Speed (2015). I am not an of

The link I provided as reference was actually a reply to this very suggestion. It's something I found interesting when trying Hearthstone, but it does remove a lot of the interesting tactical decisions involved in playing cards which r

I haven't played Stellaris, but I looked up the research system after reading your comment. It does actually seem really cool and like a good use of randomness. It reminds me of Master of Orion 2, which also had non-deterministic resea

It's definitely not as simple as putting your designers in front of a visual programming language and then taking a vacation. They do need to be educated in some design principles and, whenever they don't know how to solve somethi

When I was a kid, I spent some time playing around with Klik & Play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klik It was a lot of fun and I found it impressive how easily you could throw things together. It was a nice change

I've been working a lot with something similar to Blueprints. We see it primarily as a way to allow non-coders to build a lot of the game logic. As programmers, we make reusable entities which are then connected to each other in a visu
