The Culture: Dunder & Friends Do Dungeons Deftly

Last night, Dunder Moose had on a panel to discuss fixing your suck-ass dungeons.

From a design perspective dungeon design is the same as working out a decision tree.

This is why you need to keep choices to a few options; the panel notes that cognitive load is a thing, so keeping things down to no more options than you can count on one hand, at most, and framing your design decisions in the form of a decision tree will help you make a playable design that hits.

The panel's comments and insights on design are worth the watch.
