Game Deconstruction

What the talk is about

Four experts — Vasily Sabirov, Oleksandr Donchuk, Oleksandr Chernin and Ivan Danyshevskyi — review four games shown by developers in a blitz format: a collectible card game with a board and a tabletop version, a tower defense with RPG elements, a kitchen game where burgers are made from customers, and a fairy-tale adventure puzzle game for PC and consoles. For each, they share impressions of visuals, sound and core gameplay, then short advice. The main shared problem is weak onboarding: players do not understand win conditions or what resources, tools and mechanics are for. They also advise unifying interface style, balancing sound volume, avoiding screen clutter in pixel art, and improving hints, controls and menu feedback. For the premium game they also discuss resemblance to known projects. Useful for developers preparing a launch.
