We're Dan and Mike, and we're Design Doc! We make video essays on game design. Our videos are crosscuts that point out all the little details that add up to make amazing games. We pick a topic, and we see what we can dig up from all corners of the gaming world - from RPGs to Puzzle, from retro to modern, from AAA to indie. There's a lot out there to learn from.

Unlocks can serve a number of game design goals to help make a game more fun and keep it interesting to a player over the long term. Today we're talking about how to make fun game unlockables, how to pair criteria and prizes to get the effect you want, and take a tour through one of my favorites, Smash Bros' unlockables.
