Guild Chat: Hero Driven 4X Game and "Wouldn't it be cool?" syndrome

In the first of this week's Guild Chat videos, I explore the idea of a hero-driven 4X game.

In the second, I analyze a problem that can crop up in game design, where you focus on things that sound cool, rather than on the hard details of how a game works. I also examine the idea of what it is like to experience game worlds, since that is a big part of this issue.
