Páll Ívarsson replied to Kristján Friðbertsson's discussion 'IGIA Workshop 2 - Game Design - POST YOUR QUESTIONS' in the group IGIA10

Hey, sorry for the late reply to this. Increasing the difficulty in a game really depends on the direction. I can't say it in black and white that I would always do it one way or the other. It would depend on the game. I'm very interested in adapt…

All those troubled gamers - your thoughts?

Hey kids,

just came across this on RUV (Icelandic National Radio)
