Game Theory Research 5) Game Design and Development

5. Game Design and Development
. Game designers
People who are interested in game design can be divided into two categories: artists with technical qualities and artistic tastes
Technical staff. The former is familiar with the final effect they want to express and can use accurate languages, texts, images, and sounds.
Expression. However, there is often a lack of technical skills and expertise to achieve this final effect.
The latter type of personnel, due to the training they are good at, is just the first type of personnel who have done very poorly or basically
Things that cannot be done. They cannot independently and explicitly propose artistic standards and opinions, but can
Expression of final results in artistic form, translation into software engineering plans, various design documents until program code and Data
And use rigorous engineering techniques to design the entire game. These two human departments are subject to cross-disciplinary limitations,
Marginal talents with the boundaries of Arts and Sciences. They are the core figures of the game design community, and are purely technical developers and pure
The gap between pure art designers has been bridges. However, as the Director of game design and development
Human beings have their own weaknesses: the first type of technically qualified artists have a one-sided and superficial understanding of technology without Engineering
It is easy to indulge in the passion of artistic expression, and the latter type of technical personnel with artistic interest can not extricate themselves.
The understanding and creativity of the skills are not competent for the overall design of the game, and they are often more practical and lack of imagination.
Instead of artistic innovation. For these two categories, we can see that Below we will
After the entire production process is divided into the design stage and the actual stage, the first category is competent for the design stage, and the last category is competent.
In the development stage. These two types of people not only need to be bridges between technicians and art designers
Communication and cooperation are also required.
5. 2. Design and Development
Design and development are two different stages. There are two arguments: one is that the two stages should be completely separated.
In the design phase, the concept of game design should be completely solidified to solve the game's user view and developer View'
View and developers 'view ). In this way, software developers can smoothly develop applications.
Views (software blueprints, plans, documents, etc.) and artists can easily use user views (interfaces, image design, etc.
) Step-by-step development. This is a classic software engineering method. Mainly from how to most effectively
The implementation of software engineering is also more idealistic. Another point of view is more practical.
They are separated and cannot be completely separated. Therefore, multiple feedback and modifications are required. However, most of them are accepted
Developers and engineers are two different types of people. They need different qualities to take on different jobs.
In addition, the design and development of games are based on the combination of the classic Waterfall Model and the original method in software engineering.
Method. In particular, the primitive method is more important.
6. Summary
This article is a rough idea of the author in his years of exploration and practice.
These ideas are not yet mature and we are willing to discuss them with players interested in games.
