Making RPG Browser Games
Constructing Role-Playing Games as White-labeled "Content-as-a-Service" (CaaS) publications.
About the Book
Discover how to create Role-Playing games using the methods found in this single chapter from the "Phaser Game Starter Kit Collection". When you finish this chapter, you will have a production pipeline ready to create as many different RPG "Content-as-a-Service" (CaaS) games as your imagination can dream up! You'll also get bonus content, download examples, game variations, and source code references on how to do every single thing in this game design workbook, so you can copy and paste many examples into your productions and then modify those visual resources for your purpose. General Game Licenses are included. I would like to guide you in creating several types of RPG game mechanics as CaaS using an innovative approach from Headless Game Design. We will use these game mechanics, front-end mechanisms, and the development methods discussed in Headless Game Design. By the end of this workbook, you should have a fully functional "RPG" game - not just a copy of my game, but your very own product using your 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+ -- as your RPG "Front-end".
- Integrate "RPG" game mechanics into "Content-as-a-Service" (CaaS) back-end services for "White Labeled" products!
- Use your game as a data source for "Progressive Web Application" or "Single Page Web Application" for any device.
- License access for your "Affiliated Business Network" and fans to generate bespoke modules and game expansions.
- Generate various game board features automatically. If you have any feedback or suggestions please join our email listing or participate in the forum for this course!
