The document discusses core principles of game design, including that games should be simple, unique, represent real-life environments, involve social factors, and be fun. It outlines the game design process of building a concept, including getting an idea, creating goals and emotional experiences for players. It also discusses differences between games and movies, and creating game specifications by identifying players, genres, environments, and success criteria.

Core Game Design • A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for entertainment or fun, and sometimes used as an educational tool. • Game design principles The basic principles of a game design include the following: 1. The game design should be kept simple. 2. Every game should be unique. 3. There should be effective representation to bring out the real-life environment. 4. It should include social factors, like it takes two to play a game. 5. Playing the game should be fun.
Core Game Design • Game design process Step 1: Build the concept 1. Get an idea. 2. Build the game concept. 3. Create a goal. 4. Create an emotional experience for the player. Step 2: Creating the game specification 1. Write the design document. 2. Build the prototype. 3. Iterate, that is, choose an appropriate lifecycle model.
Core Game Design Build the concept • Getting an idea • Dreams and inspirations can create ideas. • The programmer should come up with a unique and unusual idea for a game. • A group of people can have brainstorm sessions for creating an idea. • For each idea, a small description of what the game is about should be written. • This should be then evaluated based on parameters such as originality, potential audience (for all age group or specific age group, only for boys/girls), etc. • The selected ideas are then subjected to synergy check and the concept is created.
Core Game Design Game concept • A game is said to be good if the player can win by doing unexpected things. • This surprise and delight factor almost make the gameplay, which encourages the player to employ strategies. • The broad genres of games are: action (use many buttons/keys), adventure (story is important), puzzle (analytical think-ing), educational (learning by doing) and strategies (non-trivial choice making). • Games like movies can combine genres; for example, an adventure game can combine action and puzzle.
Core Game Design Differences between a movie (animation) and a game (programming). 1. A game program requires any input from a user, whereas a movie (animation) does not. 2. Players have to make decisions in a game, whereas in a movie they do not need to make any decision. 3. A game sometimes have no ending, sometimes have one ending, sometimes you can have mul-tiple ways to end; whereas a movie has a predetermined ending. 4.Moreover, a game has rules and goals, and may have constraints. It has players, objects, terrains and behaviors, for example, physics, sound, speech, and emotions.
Core Game Design Create a goal Every game has a goal. All aspects of the game must focus the player towards achieving the goal. All games have one or more of the following goals: 1. To collect points. 2. To gain power. 3. To reach the destination/target first. 4. To overcome obstacles. 5. To discover something. 6. To eliminate opponents.
Core Game Design The point-scoring games do not have a visible objective, which is the reason the rewards are given in the form of points, whereas in racing and conquest-type games, both involve visible objectives. For instance, 1. In racing, the player knows what is his/her position compared to other participants at any point of time. 2. In role-playing games (RPGS), the points earned can be spent on improving the attributes. 3. In strategy games, the gathered resources are used on units. 4. In adventure games, the collected items are used to solve something later.
Core Game Design Create emotional experience for player • If the emotional experience does not match the game goal, the player would not enjoy the game. • The programmer needs to design the game in such a way that players get addicted to the game. • For this pur-pose, cool graphics, fast actions, stimulating steps or complex strategies could be added to the game.
Core Game Design Create emotional experience for player The features of the game such as score, moves, levels could be designed as follows: 1. Score: Players expect more from a game experience than a mere score. To name a few, games of this sort include fighting, racing, sports or any competition games. 2. Moves: Controlling virtual athletes' in sports and vehicles in racing requires a steady practiced hand. Players must master all those tricky moves to almost devastate their opponents. 3. Explore levels: The best way to encourage exploration is to hide some of the game levels. 4. As the player moves through the levels he/she finds ways to unlock or realize the hidden areas. 5. A racing game can have additional cars as the players acquire trophies a particular number of times. Similarly, a FreeCell game gets tougher as the player wins the first few games.
Core Game Design Creating the game specification • Plan first First, a plan should be made and the following questions should be answered: 1. What type of game it is? 2. What is the objective? 3. How will player achieve the objective? 4. What are the features that will constitute the gameplay? • Identify the players. • Identify the genre and corresponding constraints. • Identify the universe and landscape. • Identify the constraints and goals of the game.
Core Game Design Creating the game specification 5. Determine the criteria for success. How does the player win? How does he/she lose? 6. Determine the rules of interaction. Is it through controls or interaction with character or by putting the player in some environment. 7. How are the constraints explained to the player? Is a story told to the player? 8. What are the operational issues (in production/maintenance)?
Core Game Design Test the concept • The concept is put down on paper, writing the concept down exposes the issues and the complex interfaces. • This treatment forms the outline of the concept and the sketch of game design. • This ensures the game and helps in deciding whether to go ahead or give up. • At this stage, the technical not seen. • Only the game's unique features are considered and other details are ignored. • The description of the working of the game is given and the end result is communicate such as gameplay interface, rules and level design are included. It is very important to a reasoning.
