Just Pause - A Detailed Look at Real-Time with Pause

Hi, I'm Table 53 and this is my video game essay about real time with pause mechanics in video games. What is real time with pause? And what lessons from a real-time, turn-based games does it take? Real time with pause is one of my favourite video game mechanics - an innovative mash-up of both real-time and turn-based tactics that offers up some interesting takeaways for those interested in game design.

Usually I write video game reviews, this is me branching out into something more similar to a Game Maker's Toolkit/Mark Brown style of video, with a video game essay about one of my favourite types of video game.
