017 – Light Speed Limits: Why Faster Isn’t Always Better
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
In physics, traveling near the speed of light leads to distortion — things blur, time stretches, and clarity breaks down. In gamified systems, the same thing can happen when we accelerate too quickly.
In this episode, we explore how speed in design—rapid feedback, escalating missions, and overloaded interfaces—can overwhelm users instead of engaging them. You’ll learn how to slow things down with intentional pacing, emotional rhythm, and meaningful pauses that create flow, not fatigue.
Because in gamification, clarity always beats velocity.
