1a. What Mechanics would you like to use for a game with a theme that revolves around being the size of a nanometer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first thing I thought of reading this was Little Nightmares for some reason, and then I kind of went with the aspect of playing as something so little and how it makes you have to play sort of cautiously. So, I think that game piece movement, and movement from area to area would be something I\u2019d want to explore in terms of finding a way to incorporate that caution<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1b. Who are you making games for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of my ideas stem from things I myself enjoy, or find interesting. So, when I make a game I\u2019d say its targeted at like-minded people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1c. Who will be your play testers outside of class?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My roommate and my brother primarily. Potentially, some of my other classmates\/friends as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2a. Can you think of a game you were able to play without referring to the rules?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pictionary, Headbandz, War, Blackjack. These were all games that were easy for me to just jump in and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2b. How do you define what a game is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To me, a game is a structured form of immersive entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2c. What features can make your games more intuitive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that having a reason behind the games design is important , and not just creating game pieces mindlessly or because you “need” them. The pieces of the game should have a purpose that is easy and clear to see when you view them. They should also fit into the game as a whole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3a. What was your gateway game? What do you play to introduce others to gaming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spoons. I mean I played all kinds of video games before, and boardgames here and there as a kid, but I can remember Spoons as being one of the first games I got truly fascinated with. I always wanted to play it, and I always enjoyed it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3b. What features do gateway games share?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. What are the 10 beautiful mechanics and what should you aim for with your own?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I should aim to have a game mechanic that makes the game enjoyable. Something that doesn\u2019t feel tedious, but fun and works to elevate the game as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. How does luck and strategy factor into game play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both Luck and Strategy are key factors in playing and winning a game. While playing with strategy comes from having a deeper understanding and knowledge of the game, it is still not always a surefire way to win. This is because luck exists randomly. It is a crucial part of gameplay that can either boost a player to a win, or cause their downfall. Luck is also what helps keep the game interesting, it\u2019s an unpredictable lement and it helps to ensure different outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
