Hey! In my last video, on melee combat, I briefly touched on scoring systems. I decided to go a bit deeper into that subject, and look at how scores can be used in modern game design, for all sorts of interesting advantages.

Cheers! Things are getting back to normal so hoping to get two videos out this month. Thanks so much for your patience this spring!
