All these games together will teach you a wide variety of mechanics. This is a neat way to introduce brand new board game devs to odd concepts like modular boards – that is, boards that do not have the same form every time you play. Don’t study the mechanics of this game. appeared first on Brandon the Game Dev.

However, I don’t want to leave things too abstract - game design is about taking an idea and translating it into real game rules and mechanics. You research it, you acquire the gear and skills for it, and you’re ready to use it… and then you run headfirst into a bunch of enemies who are mostly or completely immune to that mechanic.

This time, we’ll look at the top games that use storytelling as a core mechanic and show you that you don’t need sparkling design and intense gameplay to create a hit. Three Minute Games also included a time mechanic to make it feel even more realistic. Making choices can be the sole mechanic, and you still have a game.

It’s got all the elements of the original that gamers liked – the economic strategy and dynamic scoring – plus some new mechanics carefully chosen by the original creator to make the game even better. Long story short, it’s got a cute fantasy theme with really well-executed worker placement mechanics.

WE SHOULD ALL DO THIS / STEAL THIS: Dev-owned wiki. The dev team "SureAI" operates the official Endreal strategy guide and lore wiki. It is much better than the boring shot reverse-shot cutscene stuff going on in AAA RPGs these days, and makes Skyrim's "sit" mechanic more meaningful. Anyway, here's my notes.

Perfect for pretending to have played Deathloop if you find yourself talking to a game dev. Not that you should ever talk to a game dev. This fighting game health mechanic is too fussy and unreliable for a busy shooter. I assume general game design knowledge but minimal Deathloop-specific knowledge. Limited regen (e.g.

Here my walking mechanic borrows some sensibility from Death Stranding, where terrain can seriously slow down the player's speed, so a skilled player should micro-optimize their route a little and avoid water / hills / obstacles. You can place this game in a tradition of walkie-talkie games like Firewatch or Wheels of Aurelia.

If I still have some time left I will take a look at adding some sort of AI denoiser, but I can't promise anything :). Currently, the mechanism to traverse from scene to scene, as well as ensure that the scene files are valid, is complete. Most of the mechanism to traverse through any particular script is done as well.
