How has prototyping your games has helped you in making better games? Please let me know in the comments below!

1. Spend time on the mechanics and lesser on the sfx and graphics
2. Prototyping without a purpose (It's for assessing game mechanics and design)
3. Not prototyping because you think an idea is good in your head
4. Getting too attached to a prototype
5. Creating a digital prototype (He suggests making physical prototypes - I don't really find this applicable for myself)
6. Not formally test the prototype (Others should test it)

1:10 you said Game Feel doesn't matter, but then you say it's important for the player to get an idea of what the mechanics feel like. How can we show them what it feels like if we ignore game feel?

0:48 that's some next-level transition right there.

prototyping for an rpg is really hard because you need a lot of actual content to test it

[@J4ie]

Main takeaway/self not: YOU CANT DRAW STOP FOCUSING ON GRAPHICS JUST GET CORE MECHANICS WORKING

[@raidev_]

but I like drawing :(

I realiized I am buying to many art assets even before I start a game after watching this.

3:14 one would say this is from a prototype but its Cyberpunk so we know its from the release 💀

[@HiChunTaChen]

Paper prototype is not good for external testers. I want to skip writing code to make an interactive prototpye.

[@GameDesignWithChris]

Paper prototypes are super useful for anyone, it allows you to make changes on the fly and improve your game way faster

[@Tymon0000]

Paper prototyping is good for board games...
