I believe that the game I created involves some confrontation in the gameplay and that by adding this the mechanics of the game become more interesting and dynamic to play. The confrontational elements include the action cards which are scattered throughout the deck of cards. These action cards allow for a change in gameplay while it… Read More Play Testing Game Prototype
For the prototype of the game Meme-ery only a few material components are being used to experiment with. These material components are the analogue playing cards which are the basis for the game playing. Due to the materials of this game being very limited, one could say that the price of creating, distributing and marketing… Read More Game Prototype and Materials
During the class, we brainstormed ideas that we could potentially use for our final game concept. The brainstorming session in class was a great way to start thinking about the game and concepts that could be further expanded and developed. In this 5 minute brainstorm, there were a few good ideas but most of them… Read More Brainstorming Game Ideas
Since the Easter long-weekend, Aiman, Chloe and I began developing the pitch presentation for our game ‘The Mars Expedition’. In developing this pitch, I have come to realise just how much research and steps are involved in developing a board game. One of the trickier aspects, for me personally, was to do with the financial… Read More Pitching ‘The Mars Expedition’
Some of the feedback I’ve received about my game rules, is that it can be difficult to follow at times. When showing my drafted rule book to my Dad, he suggested a flow chart would be the best way to ensure easy understanding of how to play. Below is the visual rule set (open image… Read More Stages of Play – Visualised
So I have started to sit down and write the rules, and one of the things I hadn’t really accounted for was how impersonal the rules are. The rules are there to be a list of instructions to make play as simple as possible, and while this is great for playing, and some sass will… Read More EXPOSE YOURSELF: Backstory
even if you are only building them in a game. Recently, I play-tested AI Escape (working title) in it’s most recent form, which was unfortunately incomplete. The issues that kept coming up with the game are as follows: Since the players were unfamiliar with the materials of the game, a master list of all the… Read More It turns out, building robots is hard
Again, been doing some playtesting and finetuning of my game. I playtested the game again, and came up with these rules: 5. Play ends when the map has been filled, with the person with the most tiles on the map being the winner! So, these were the rules that the playtest bred. We played around with… Read More Nearly there (hopefully)!
Well into the term, our game projects should be well underway and looking spiffy. My game, Remnants of Dream, is complete in the sense that I have completed what can only be described as a demo. But even as a demo, I think I have achieved something pretty cool, and I can’t wait to work… Read More Answers for Inspirations and Yanfly Mods
I have a working title: Expose Yourself. It plays upon the centrality of exposure in the game’s design, that all-to-familiar mantra from clients, “I’ll pay you in exposure”, while also being a double entendre to play to the tongue-in-cheek nature of the game. HOW TO PLAY Pay 1 Cash to ‘survive’ Draw 2 cards from the… Read More EXPOSE YOURSELF
