About the Book

Discover how to create Role-Playing games using the methods 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 of! 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 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 types of RPG game mechanics as CaaS using an innovative approach in Headless Game Design. We will use the 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 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 either the Phaser JS Gaming Framework either v2.x.x or v3.16+ as a "Front-end".
  • How to integrate "RPG" game mechanics into "Content-as-a-Service" (CaaS) back-end services!
  • Use your game as a "Progressive Web Application" or "Single Page Web Application" for any device.
  • License access for "Affiliated Business Networks" and fans to generate bespoke modules and game expansions.
  • Automatically generate various game board features. If you have any feedback or suggestions please join our email listing or participate in the forum for this course!
