Making Dress-up Browser Games
Designer Fashions Game Mechanics for Phaser.js Gaming Frameworks v3.16+ & v2.x.x
About the Book
Discover how to create online Dress-up and "Designer Fashions" games using the methods in this single chapter from the Phaser Game Starter Kit Collection. When you finish this tutorial and courses, you will have a production pipeline to create as many different "Fashion" games as your imagination can dream of!
You'll also get bonus content, download examples, and source code references on how to do every single thing in this game design workbook, so you can copy and paste any examples into your own productions and then modify those resources for your own purposes. General Game Licenses are included in the purchased book.
I would like to guide you in creating several styles of Dress-up game mechanics. We will use the game mechanics, mechanisms and the development methods discussed in Phaser Game Prototypes. By the end of this workbook, you should have a fully functional Fashion Dress-up game - not a copy of my game, but your very own product using your own gaming assets. There is a supporting website where you can download the bonus content included with your workbook's purchase.
This extraordinarily comprehensive guide will teach you how to:
- Use the Phaser JS Gaming Framework! either v2.x.x or v3.16+.
- How to integrate "Dress-up" game mechanics into other game genres such as RPG, first-person shooters, Fashion entertainment and Character Development!
- Use your game as a "Progressive Web Application" or "Single Page Web Application" for any device.
- Analyze current business demand for this game's genre, how and where to deploy it.
- Automatically generate various game boards.
- Instructor Guides and teaching resources available for workshops in this course's special Teacher edition and online courses.
