Designing For is a series which looks at one specific level, character, or idea in gaming and breaks down the central theme to that element to figure out what it's, well, designing for! In this episode, we look at the career of Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, going through his various appearances to see how his egotism and pride have informed every single one of his appearances! Join us as we explore how that's been played with over the years, how other characters have reacted to it, how it intrudes on his character and boss encounters, and how it defines him as one of the finer, most enduring villains our medium has to offer! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/designingfor BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/pyrrhickong.bsky.social Discord: https://discord.gg/bAwJkXP Director/Writer/Voice Over: Tommy Eyler/Pyrrhickong Video Editing/Additional Direction/Footage: Exellock (https://bsky.app/profile/exellock.bsky.social) Intro Animation By: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb4-84eJw6K6Ij7EIsIBJpA Intro Theme By: https://soundcloud.com/phil-thej/tracks ALL SONGS USED (In Order): https://pastebin.com/7tEcS8uh
