The 'Aha! Moment'
It’ll be easier to watch this YouTube video than me attempting to explain it 😂 So what’s the 'Aha! Moment' in Portal 2? For many, it’s the moment they realise they’ve opened up a pathway to progress to the next chapter. Although, if you persevere the more frustration you have the bigger the aha is.
Rick Davidson & Tim Ruswick* are joined by Laurie (Avocado Fire) to discuss the “Aha Moment” in video games. You may recognise Avocado Fire from her participation in previous livecasts. Discover what the 'Aha! Moment' is as the gang plays Portal 2.
(*Rick has more than 14 years experience in the game dev industry, working on IP's that include Mario, Transformers, Captain America and Mortal Kombat. He's done it all, from Game Designer, Producer, Creative Director and Executive Producer to GameDev.tv's very own Instructor extraordinaire).
