Interesting read. And it appears to be in line with models others have created (see Bart Stewart's comment on gamasutra). I think I'm a bit all over the place, although usually less of a destructor. The SimCity 2000 example was spot on. I always became bored with the city building after a while and then simply wrecked havok. But I don't think it should be an important factor in game design to see what types you want to attract, etc. You have no control over that anyway. You will always attrack certain creators in the game that do things you never imagined where possible. A good example are the creators that popped up in FPS games like Halo or UT2004. I don't mean the mod creators, I mean that people that use the objects/vehicles in existing levels and do crazy stunts with it. Like launching a car on top of a tower. (can't find the videos of that stuff) I think it would be much better to just provide the basic tools for each builder type (e.g. include something that creates a force, like an explosion, for the destructors). It's not like the creators of LBP imagined the possibilities of creating an space invaders level, or a bsic calculator.

I only have 150mb of bioshock games. When I have to think about saving, the game is flawed.

I didn't like the design of their site, so I decided their podcast wasn't worth listening to. -

2015: Year of the PS3 (or http://yearoftheps3.info/ if you don't like dashes) shame Bit.Trip Beat is a Wii game... because it looks interesting -
Use "space" to restart a level. And most/all levels can be completed by drawing 1 object (and maybe 1 pin). So I don't think undo is that important.

damnit... an update, I was so close to the middle island

it should be, my stuff still works

Little Bang is quite difficult, the debris is in the way quite often. I had an "interesting" set up in the first game I hosted, I gave unlimited dashing. So you could stay in the air for ever

It depends on how you distribute the odds. If you start with the 0.5 = there is a god; 0.5 there is no god. Then from the 0.5 of there is a god part you have 0.5 there is 1 god, and 0.5 there are more gods. therefor in absolute 0.25 there is 1 god, and 0.25 there are more gods. From the 0.25 there is 1 god, there is a 0.5 it wants to be worshiped, and 0.5 it doesn't want to be worshiped. In that case you would have a 0.125 chance that worshiping a single god is favorable to you. In that case you would be much better of not worshiping a single god. There are too many uncertainties to create a proper model. Pascal's model doesn't account possibility that the god doesn't want to be worshiped. Or that you are worshiping incorrectly (i.e. golden calf thingy). Anyway... interesting read about Pascal's Wager. And I think I should read Dawkin's The God Delusion. I wasn't, but vegetarians/vegans are sometimes also very aggressive in pushing their ideas.
