Hidden Game Mechanics: Design for the Human Psyche - Extra Credits

So a new vid from extra credits. Thought this was kinda on point.



Imagine if the health and focus bar was slightly weighted (like 40-vs-60 on the 50-50 line) how much better the game combat would feeeeeeeel.



Hehe. Time to push some of my old points.

Would like to see animations alter based on stats. For example, low health would have your characters idle animation exhibiting pain while running and low on stamina your characters movements become labored. Longer strides during these labored animations could give the perception of moving slower, if not actually slowing our movements outright. Whole this is a game and most would argue ‘reality’ would be a burden there is a novelty in seeing the realistic in a fantasy world that would sooner be viewed positively rather than negatively.
