Design Is a Search Algorithm: Game Development Unlocked

Think of game development like searching for treasure in a huge lake. You’re looking for the best spot, the deepest place, where your game idea really shines.

Captain One moves randomly, checking here and there. Captain Two measures more often and adjusts the course. Captain Three is the real genius—exploring all directions quickly, then zooming in on the best spots.

Here’s the deal: how you search and experiment matters a ton. Start broad, try out lots of ideas, and then focus in. Always keep testing, separating gameplay from art to speed things up.

Keep refining your search strategy. It’s all about balancing speed and accuracy, avoiding dead ends, and learning from past games. This way, you’ll increase your chances of creating a game that’s a real hit!
