Stop with the clickbait please.

We’re just used to it by now, but the title is phrased in a way to make you curious what the author meant by “what’s important in 3D level design”. I wouldn’t call this clickbait, but it’s definitely written in a way that intentionally omits the central conclusion.

It’s not clickbait, you see this line only after you clicked at the link

I read the article. It appears to deliver on the promise of the headline pretty completely. The headline also isn’t sensationalized or misrepresentative of the content. Are you just upset because it sounds a little bit like a LinkedIn status in its construction?

Yeah, but…
Minecraft will never achieve the writer’s design requirement; immersive sim level design philosophy is where he is aiming, where highly environmental detail and possibly some competent AI to support the immersion.
MC is just a block-by-block construction, competent with building form, and it offers some simple decoration, and no more; I can’t see how it is a fair comparison.

I think part of what you’re saying is why the Kowloon build can’t deliver that, though.
TalkingFlower@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, Minecraft cannot deliver that kind of experience.
Go check out video of The Utuluk Complex in Mankind Divided if you want to know what the writer is seeking.

I’d orefer a title to summarize the article so that I know whether it’s worth my time investment to actually read it at all. Now, I’m put if by the blayant cliff hanger at the end of the title.

It’s a very good summary of the article. The things the author reconsidered were pretty nuanced, and trying to describe them in a headline without making the headline even longer than it is.
Would you have liked this better?
“This Minecraft map that recreates Kowloon Walled City, one of history’s most notorious slums, made me realize that 3D level design isn’t just about the complexity or the environmental challenge, but about the internal lives of the people who live there and the way that the game implies a greater reality that exists beyond the confines of the camera’s field of view”
Because that’s too long to fit in a tweet.

You might be too easy to bait.
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
I wasn’t baited. Didn’t read it.
Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Right, because you smelled bait… which wasn’t actually there.

That’s a decent little article which makes a fair point well. Which criteria are you using to define it as clickbait?
Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
The headline is omitting a vital part of the article, namely the “one ingredient”. You have to read the artivke to finish the title, which can be a definition of clickbait.

For me, it didn’t trigger my clickbait alarm. Yes there’s a hook there but I’m already interested in Kowloon City, Minecraft and 3D design so I was happy to read it.
Maybe if the title had put “: people”, at the end then it would have been completely above board, but it’s still a far cry from something like “The New Minecraft Map That Recreates a A Demolished 90’s Era Enclave Has One Super Important Thing Missing!”, followed by pages of ads.
