I know some folks see the yellow paint discourse as repeating old discussions. But do you have any idea how much of a repeat it actually is? Here is a video from Egoraptor explaining why players feel terrible about being handheld in less than a minute. Can you guess when this video was released?

I’ve cited this video in academic work. Classic.

Yeah! So many universities have. I think every game student I've ever talked to has seen this. Which is why it surprises me when game devs themselves have not.

What gets me about that is that if you can make education segments of levels really well - congrats, you just made a decent chunk of gameplay. You can get A LOT of work done that way (again, see these Mega Man examples)
