Game Design Case: How Valheim Gets You HookedValheim is an open-world survival game with Vikings crafted into early access success by a 5-person team. Let's dive into its first crucial minutes and learn how it hooks you into its gameplay loop in a way that rivals multi-million AAA productions! About the speaker: I am Borb, a game developer who uses esoteric game engines and talks about them (but not this time). I live in Oulu, Finland, where I'm making EMUUROM - my upcoming nonviolent creature-scanning exploration game. Sometimes I also do bouldering or play Valheim.Do not be like me. Do not play Valheim.
