The unique design of 2019 hit Baba Is You<\/em> is key to its appeal: the rules of each puzzle are actually objects in the game, which the player must manipulate in order to solve the puzzle and win. <\/p>\n

It’s a remarkable work of game design, and at GDC<\/a> in March you’ll have a rare opportunity to see exactly how it works and why, courtesy of the game’s creator!<\/p>\n

In a special GDC 2020 Design track<\/a> talk titled “Reading the Rules of ‘Baba Is You<\/em>‘<\/a>” developer Arvi Teikari will show you exactly how the game’s unique sentence-based rule system was implemented, and what kind of iterations and obstacles it went through over the development of the game.<\/p>\n

Teikari intends to concentrate on the technical aspects of turning physical items in the game world into sentences understood by the game logic, as well as building a data structure that supports this kind of functionality. This talk will also reveal the realities of developing a complex puzzle game using a non-programming-based game creation tool and the lua scripting language. Don’t miss out!<\/p>\n
