<p>Some gamedev advice I've heard is to actively journal while playing games. The goal is to try to see from gamedev and player eyes simultaneously and learn from risks taken, get inspired, and generally increase your exposure to the medium. <br></p>
<p>Some gamedev advice I've heard is to actively journal while gaming. Try to see from gamedev and player eyes simultaneously and learn from the risks taken, get inspired by different genres, and generally increase your exposure to the medium. I might as well try it. <br></p>

<p>I haven't written about games outside of Steam reviews, so maybe it's easiest to start with a favorite: Oblivion. I've been going through an Oblivion phase again lately anyway. In the <a href="/diary/tag/gaming">Gaming Diary series</a>, I'll give a description of the featured game then paint in broad strokes what's fun and what holds it back.

Judging from my backup folder, I've been making significant edits to the game every few months since high school. So for me, Oblivion is a sandbox, or maybe even just a level editor with a lot of premade content. <br></p>

<p>So what are the issues keeping me from playing the game as a game? <br></p>
