Creating a game

Steps Idea Objective(s) Purpose Gameplay Gameflow Aesthetic

Idea What is interesting? What isn’t? What hasn’t been done? What has? What interests you? Think creatively. Think rhetorically. Audience – Age – Gender – Type of gamer (hardcore? casual?) – Education – Income

Objective(s) or Premise Summary of game – Premise – Story – Characters – Major challenges – Minor challenges

Purpose Rhetorical (persuade somebody to do/believe) Argumentative (make a case with evidence) Advergame (demonstrative, illustrative, associative Edugame (behaviorist, constructivist) Ideological game (activism, belief) Entertain Remember, all games have these principles; you need to select the PRIMARY purpose.

Gameplay What is the player doing in this game? Genre? – Management game? – Hidden Object Game? – Mini-games? – FPS? – RTS? – Other? Setting? Platform?

Gameflow Create a decision tree for your game. All games have a gameflow. Some games have narrative (progression) elements and open-world (emergent) elements How does the player win, score, finish, not lose in the game?

Chance versus Choice A cornerstone of all games is the relationship of chance to choice. – Casual games tend to favor chance at the expense of choice (you don’t have to work very hard to understand them). Candyland – Chance > Choice Candy Crush Saga – Chance > Choice Monopoly – Chance > Choice Solitaire – Chance > Choice – Hardcore games tend to present both or more choice than chance Poker – Choice = Chance World of Warcraft – Choice > Chance Magic the Gathering – Choice > Chance
