Former Game Designer from Singapore with a Business MBA from New York. I make videos about the design and business behind games for fun. The channel covers a lot of Pokemon a lot, but I don't consider it a Pokemon-centric channel. While I do enjoy Pokemon on a personal level, I mainly consider Pokemon to be a convenient example to use in game discussions because it is such a universally known game franchise. ------------------- Notable Channel Milestones First Video Uploaded: 11th July 2023 1k Subscribers: 30th July 2023 10k Subscribers: 8th February 2024

The potential to replay a game is a pretty big deal to some people. That said, it isn't always a good thing. For some games, replayability is simply just a natural part of their game's fundamental structure and core design, and even creates design challenges which the game developers need to overcome.
