Jeremiah: the key isn’t the shifting world. It’s the INTERACTION with the shifting world.

After all, the player inputs into the state of the game, the game deals with the input, then applies the necessary changes and presents the gamespace to the player again. The combination gives you this wonderful shifting model which makes the player feel like the world is reacting to him.

My questions is, are there other ways to create that same kind of shifting world that a gamespace needs without feedback? Just something to chew on.
