In this episode:

The episode comes out late due to Reuben being sick and then distracted by Faeria, Dan's game that has just entered backer early access.

You can find Reuben's streaming of Faeria on his new Twitch Channel

We talk about "What makes a good mechanic?"

We highlight mechanics that make the game feel different.

We talk about how mechanics can tap into core psychological positive feelings.

Design Challenge: Make an Egyptian mechanic!
