[Game Design] game designers practice cheats Reading Notes 3 (about iOS game Fruit Ninja and fishing talents)

1. Basic Game Design

Notes:

[From the perspective of physics or chemistry, we talk about game design as a game element. The protagonist of the game we are positioning is what we interpret the subject of our game. For IOS games, such as fruit ninja, which is popular all over the world, his main body is to attract our attention through the game element of fruit, which is what we do on a daily basis, why can't we figure it out? In fact, we can also be whimsical, or paint walls. We can create a game through paint. The main body is a wall with different patterns for you to paint, the key is to find the basis of game design-the subject of the game]

 

2. About the game status and view

(1) Game status:This book describes all the virtual information that may change in the game.

Notes:

[Speaking about the game status, I think we can talk a lot about it. For example, we are familiar with playing chess. When we are a little knowledgeable, there will often be a lot of unknown chess games on the street for everyone to think about, I occasionally want to pretend to explore for a while, and that unfinished game board can be simply classified as a game status. for iOS, the game status is similar to that of other games, such as fishing talents, when you reach a certain state, the remaining time and the scores you get for fishing, the size of your fishing cannon, your level, and the rewards you get, the number of levels belongs to your game status. In this game status, we can add interesting game states based on our own games, for example, fishing adults, you can switch between the fishing type and the specialized fishing cannon (which you can add) to diversify your game status.]

(2) Game View:In the book, the game status of the Department that players can see is called the game view.

Notes:

[Of course, we can't see what we can't see. We can increase the fun of the game by adding a lot of external events. For example, Fruit Ninja, we have been cutting fruit, there may be a bomb when there is no prediction. We cannot predict it. I don't know where it will appear, except for the bomb, we can also imagine that a bottle of pesticides will pop up, and when we cut it, we will continue to cut the fruit and won't be able to score, but the game will not end. In this way, we can add many unexpected things .]

 

3. Game Mechanism

Or simply put, it is called the gameplay mechanism. The book describes some common mechanisms:

• Setting: there is at least one rule to describe how the game starts.
• Victory condition: there is at least one rule to describe how the game wins.
• The process of the game: who should go first, how?
• Player action: What can a player do and its impact on the game

 

Notes:

[The setting and victory conditions are all very clear, that is, how to make the game start naturally and end naturally. at the beginning and end, for iOS, in fact, we can still do something to improve the interactive experience, such as guiding users at the beginning of the game and providing a way to share it with Sina Weibo and everyone at the end of the game, facebook and Twitter. In the process of the game, we should consider whether to adopt a turn-based or real-time system. If it is a turn-based system, we should follow the clockwise direction or let the players bid for bidding, such as QQ landlords, we adopt a turn-based system, and who has the right to give priority to landlords, tentcent promotes the game process by allowing players to choose and bid on their own. What kind of actions can we use to play a game? Currently, basic smart phones can use touch, gravity sensing, and other sensors, for example, in the recent popular game that blows skirts, we can design different player behavior actions to submit the game fun.]

 

Finally, if you want to design a flight-type game, what do you think players want to play? Despite your imagination, you also need to consider your ability to accept it, what do you think? Welcome to your ideas. Haha
