\nPart I — Concept & Design

\n\n

\"\" — Software Project Management for Games

\n\n\n

Part I is an introduction to my Game Design System™ and building Game Recipes™. By starting either “Part II” or “Part III”, and ending with Part IV we’ll have created everything our game prototype needs.

\n\n\n\n

Introduction

\n\n

“Why should I study a “systems-based” design?”, you say? Answer: Yes! Why indeed! The earliest decisions about what kind of game(s) a studio builds will impact all the development and production activities of that project’s management. It affects how Construct “encodes” your game’s features, how you will construct scenes, layouts, layers, and optimize Game Mechanics’ Events, and how those “time-consuming animations” and “cut-scenes” are handled — just to mention a few. There’s also a heavy cost associated with how much creative freedom is permitted. Historically, games with “open-ended” possibilities tend to be much more difficult to accurately schedule. The Game Design System™ addresses those shortcomings in this project management approach.

\n\n

Creating your own bespoke game is an exciting adventure in creativity using the Construct Game Framework (or with any Gaming Framework for that matter); and, at the same time, it’s fun! However, dealing with all those “full-stack” technical details — such as web pages, artwork production, collisions, sprites, “game phases” (and there’s a lot more!) — can be quite intimidating; especially, if this is your first experience with such game components.

\n\n

In general Construct, — and any other Code-less Gaming Framework — generates all the JavaScript resources and libraries for us that run inside our Internet device. Any of these “code-less frameworks” simplifies and abstracts those gaming programming patterns and algorithms into easy-to-use, high-level “worksheets” for those JavaScript functions. Using these “worksheets”, we can quickly build various two-dimensional ( aka “2D” or 2.5D ) and even 3D games are possible inside a simple HTML5 “<canvas>” tag. Construct does 95% of all that “work” for us; and beyond that, all you need is your imagination and some basic logic. If you’d like to create “complex game interactions” then JavaScript knowledge becomes handy; and with only a few hours spent, you can gain that knowledge for FREE from W3Schools. So, let’s begin by creating a simple “Bump or Jump” to capture Game Mechanics.

\n\n\n\n

In Part II (for Construct2) or Part III (for Construct3) our goal is to “construct” a fully functional “Jump-To-Capture” and “Bump-to-Capture” Game Prototypes. There are simple step-by-step “Game Recipe™ instructions” for each task. We’ll catalog and create various Game Mechanism Components — those “visual elements” that are separate from the core Game Mechanics rules, logic, and data. From this simple foundation, we can combine them as easily as a child would use Lego™ blocks to construct a toy castle. Furthermore, you can review this construction process and many other Game Mechanics in the Construct Game Starter Kit Collection workshop books — a growing collection of other classical and popular game mechanics and their sub-genres.

\n\n

So then, “What’s a game prototype”, you asked?
Answer: It is an operational gaming foundation that can:

\n\n

accepts inputs (Game Framework Mechanism (GFM) component);
moves game elements and components (Game Framework Mechanism (GFM) component);
transitions between game phases, and translates “game actions” (Game Mechanics (GM) component which dictates changes to the “visual elements” in the displayed Game Framework Mechanisms (GFM).)
reacts to internal game object collisions, visual animations, and “Heads-Up Display” (HUD) feedback — those interactions between both Game Mechanics (GM) and Game Framework Mechanisms (GFM) Components.

\n\n

What are the benefits of creating a game prototype first?

\n\n

Answer: See the latest comments from various gaming experts here and here; and other software engineers’ opinions about prototyping in general — here.

\n\n

My Game Design System™ is clearly echoed in the Construct Framework, GDevelop, Apple’s Game-Play Kit, and Play Canvas as “Entities and Components”. Apple’s Game-Play Kit plainly states, “The Entity-Component design pattern is an architecture that favors composition over inheritance. To illustrate the difference between inheritance-based and composition-based architectures, consider how you might design, for example, a “tower defense” style game, with the following features … (Continue reading their comparisons in “Designing with Entities and Components”.

\n\n

It’s a wonderful feeling to discover after several decades that other prominent game developers are thinking along the same patterns of “game prototype development”.

\n\n\n

\n1 “Code-less” Game Design

\n\n

\nApproaching Game Development

An Excerpt from “Macromedia Director Game Development” available from Amazon.com

\n\n

Whether you are an experienced game developer, a master of video games, or even new to computers, a great computer game will offer you entertainment and often some type of competition. Over the years, basic games have evolved to encompass numerous genres such as role-playing, first-person shooter, side-scrolling, strategy, education, and simulations. Role-play games involve a main character or characters thrust into a heroic plot. A first-person shooter, however, involves adrenaline-fed killing and destruction. Although simulations are generally designed to be as realistic as possible, most side-scrolling, strategy, and educational games tend to be a bit more simplistic. With the wide variety of games available today, the average person will have no trouble finding a game that suits their desires. As you develop your game design skills, avoid simply mimicking existing games. In most cases, however, any game you develop will fit clearly into a specific genre.

\n\n

\nFocusing Your Game

\n\n

When you begin the process of designing a game, you must first decide how to approach the task. Determining the focus of your game is the best way to begin. You should decide on a topic, purpose, and theme for your game. Listing objectives that you want to accomplish through your game is often a smart way to begin. You might have objectives that direct the activities you will build into the game and a different set of objectives for the person who plays the game to accomplish. Through your thinking process, you will determine exactly what your game is about and how you should go about creating it. How focus your game will affect all the decisions you make later in the design process.

\n\n

\n\n\n

\"\" — ***Game Design System™*** creating new Games by “re-skinning” Artwork Themes!

\n\n\n

Game classification is diverse. So, I’d like to agree on some standard definitions as we “cook up” our game using the Game Design system™ and its Game Recipes™ tools.

\n\n

\ngame prototypes — are a blend of three components: the Game Mechanics (GM — composed of data, logic, and rules); the Artwork Theme(s); and the Game Framework Display Mechanisms (GFDM). It is the “Minimum Viable Product” (MVP). Quoted from “Construct Game Starter Kit Collection” (page 69), “By combining all of our game mechanisms, with a set of game mechanics and its rule systems — as non-invasive aspects in our gaming product — along with an artwork theme, we’re able to create multiple game products quickly. It simply becomes a matter of exchanging any of those “3 cross-cut” components into a new innovative mixture for a new game product. This is the secret to concocting a new game every month or even every week! For example, swapping a “Guitar Hero” artwork theme with a “Plants & Zombies”. The new game uses the same “Game Mechanics” and “Game Display Mechanisms” but with a “fresh organic garden” look and feel! From Page 117, “… let me write that code once and reuse it for similar items in other games as a “component prototype” — this is the secret sauce in our Game Recipes™! Keep your “featured ingredients” D.R.Y (Don’t Repeat Yourself) and use it everywhere in your game Studio!” Construct has already given us many “Plug-ins” components to help us. (See the Appendix for 300+ more Plugins, Behaviors, and Effects!)
\nmechanics — are written into Construct’s “Event sheets”. You merely describe how your game “works” using a “logical block system”. Quoted from “Construct Game Starter Kit Collection” (page 68), “From a game programming perspective, basic Game-Play can be deconstructed — revealing tactical components inside a game’s overall mechanics, logic, and rules. For example, a fighting game deconstructs into various tactics such as attacks (or punches, throws, and kicks), defensive moves, and dodges. These tactics are assigned to code functions and mechanisms — the input keys, mouse clicks, and screen interactions.

\"\" — From “Game Programming Patterns” by Robert Nystrom

\n\n\n

\nmechanisms — are those visible objects placed in Construct’s “Scenes, Layouts, and Layers”. Quoted from “Construct Game Starter Kit Collection” (page 85), “The gameboard grid defines the Game Mechanics (GM) movement rules; how that grid is drawn is a Game Framework Mechanism (GFM). Players will send their decisions from their device’s inputs using their browser — keyboard, mouse, game-pad, etc. — and the visual widgets and mechanisms we designate as drop-down menus, buttons, and “sliders”. Mechanisms are those “visual-display elements” of Construct’s Game Framework Mechanism (GFM).”

\n\n

\"\" — ***Game Design System™*** User Interface (UI) to Game Mechanics — there and back again!

\n\n\n

\n1.1 Game Genres Defined

\n\n\n\n

Game Genres can be confusing. The inconsistency comes from trying to describe a game’s mechanics, a game’s delivery mode, with details associated with a game’s theme. Game genres are specific game categories related by their similar gameplay characteristics. Remember that gameplay IS the “rules of a game” (i.e.: the Game Mechanics (GM)). Single-player and multi-player are therefore not game genres. They are “delivery” mechanisms dictating the “mode” of gameplay.

\n\n

A genre’s challenges are those rules that govern its gameplay. Game genres are separate from their interfaces, and operating systems. If we turn to ludology (aka “gaming theory”), it classifies games according to several criteria —

\n\n

whether a game is symmetric or asymmetric,
what a game’s “sum” is (zero-sum, constant sum, and so forth),
whether a game is a sequential game or a simultaneous one,
whether a game includes perfect information or imperfect information, and
whether a game is determinate.

\n\n

\nGG Interactive — Game Design Course\n

\n\n

Genres don’t help market a game — instead, the selection of a genre has an effect on what (the size of) the audience is likely to be interested and willing to purchase a game. Genres do help an audience understand the basics of a game by promising them a certain amount of familiar elements they desire (or demand) in a particular genre. For example, fans of medieval fantasy will expect some common themes in a Fantasy Real-Time Strategy (FRTS) game: knights, castles, troop combat, and magic, to name a few. As a game designer, it is important to understand what kind of audience expectations exist across different genres. Stray too far from these expectations without designing a brilliant alternative and the game will lose its audience. Stick too close to what has come before and the game will be overlooked as offering nothing new. Even the bold designer who intends to rewrite all that we know about how a genre game is played needs to understand what, to this point, has made the genre popular before deconstructing it and making it better.

\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\n1.2 Demand for Abstract Games

\n\n\n\n

These charts show what games you should develop profitably, in which languages, and where to deploy them (i.e.: marketing channels). “Bump & Jump-to-Capture (J2C)” games are a subset of both the “Puzzle” and “Strategy” genres.

\n\n

\"\" — Demand for Puzzles and Games per Euro-monitor

\n\n\n

\n\n\n

\"\" — Game Genre’s Popularity compared Worldwide

\n\n\n

If you combine the “Action-adventure” with the RPG genre, you will have a “healthy market share” to target for your final product. This also guides you into “what style” of Abstract Puzzle Strategy game to create — “Bump or Jump” To Capture is a sub-genre of both “Abstract Strategy” and “Puzzle” games.

\n\n

\n1.3 Game Delivery Modes

\n\n

This is another often-misused term and is often confused with a game’s perspective or participants. Let’s agree that “game mode” refers to a game’s participation and the number of players within a game session. Armed with this definition let’s further define how gamers participate.

\n\n

Single Player — A single-player game accepts input from only one participant and refers to those games that can be played by only one active person. “Single-player mode” converts game-play into a single-player input. Furthermore, the “Single-player mode” might have representation as an avatar found in PacMan which shows the position and interaction of a player within the gaming world. Single-player is not restricted in representation as in arcade-style games of Tetris. Many military strategy games allow multiple avatars per single gamer while battling the computer’s artificial intelligence. Much of the online games, today were designed for single-player mode. Here’s an interesting and controversial article on the future of computer-monitored single-player games. Are single-player games doomed?

\n\n

Multi-Player — This mode, as its name suggests, allows more than one game participant. Many game publishers mistakenly set Massive Multi-Player Online Games (MMoG) as a separate gaming genre. Yet, in my opinion, it is not. Massive Multi-Player Online Games (MMoG) is a mode of play couched within many different game genres just as single-player games have varying genres. Gamers can play cooperatively in teams or antagonistically as opponents in this mode. Like single-player games, Multi-Players normally have avatar representation as “one player to one avatar” or “one participant with multiple avatar teams”. The gaming party might have local or remote access to a single game session. Two gamers could play in “hot-seat” mode; in which, they would pass the input devices to the next player for their game-turn. This was popular in the early days of console gaming when local area networks were significantly diminished as compared to current modern-day network capabilities. Modern networks have provided the foundation for Massive Multi-Player Online Games. I have dedicated an entire section to various considerations in the multi-player game development.

\n\n

With these definitions, we can now determine which “game mode” to use, how, and where to deploy our game as either a “Cloud Service” or a “Mobile app”.

\nRandom Game Mechanics Generator — This idea generation machine randomly selects 3 — by default — common game theory mechanics. The game mechanics and descriptions should help your imagination blend and produce the next blockbuster game.
\nGame Framework Mechanisms (FREE Limited Access) — This library of game controls and mechanisms spans several JavaScript gaming frameworks — more are on the way! This tool helps you choose those game controls and then opens the generic code snapshots (aka “snippets”). Spend a minute to re-factor those snapshots to your bespoke design and you’ll have a functional game prototype within minutes.
\nGIT — Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git allows and encourages you to have multiple local branches that can be entirely independent of each other. The creation, merging, and deletion of those lines of development takes seconds.

\n> The Digital Ludeme Project

\n\n

This project is a computational study of the world’s traditional strategy games throughout recorded human history. Their aim is to improve our understanding of traditional games using modern AI techniques, chart historical game development, and explore their role in the development of human culture while incorporating ludic ideas. They define games as structured sets of “ludemes” (units of game-related information), which will allow the full range of traditional games to be modeled into a single software system for the first time. (See the “Ludii General Game System” below — a general game system designed to play, evaluate, and design a wide range of games, including board games, card games, dice games, and mathematical games.) Their system will not only model and play games but will also evaluate reconstructions for quality and historical authenticity. This will lay the foundations for a new field of study called “Digital Archaeoludology” (DA).

\n\n

\n> Ludii General Game System

\n\n\n\n

Ludii, a computer program, creates games by taking the rules of existing games and scrambling them into new combinations using genetic programming (GP) techniques of crossover and mutation. New games are tested through self-play trials and assigned a quality score based on their estimated potential to interest human players. The complete process of design, testing, and evaluation is entirely automated. Ludii creates a unique name for each evolved game using a Markovian stochastic process seeded with Tolkien-style words.
