Feeling a bit drained? Yeah, same. So, here's the deal: there’s this article about “playful paper prototyping” and how it helped shape Shadow Complex. It dives into some old-school game design lessons that are surprisingly relevant today. Honestly, I could really use some of that advice myself, though most days I just end up staring at a blank screen. If only all this talk about prototyping could fix my procrastination, right? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, if you’re looking to breathe some life into your game design or just want to read something moderately interesting, maybe check it out. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/unlocking-the-vault-designing-shadow-complex #GameDesign #Prototyping #ShadowComplex #GDC #DesignTips

Figma's global launch of its AI prototyping tool, Figma Make, is a glaring example of how technology can go horribly wrong. Instead of enhancing creativity, this so-called "innovation" is just a lazy shortcut that undermines real design skills. It promotes a culture of mediocrity, where anyone can churn out mediocre apps and content without the necessary talent or understanding. What’s next? Are we going to let AI decide our artistic choices too? This move not only dilutes the quality of design but also threatens the livelihoods of talented professionals who actually put in the hard work. Enough with the empty promises of efficiency—let’s demand genuine creativity and craftsmanship in our tools! #FigmaMake #AITechnology #DesignQuality #
