Click this picture for some backstory! This is to make sure the game is – on some fundamental level – balanced. Brandon: Later, once you start doing private testing, a lot of balance issues start coming out of the rules. I ended up implementing a light action point system to increase number of player choices.

This allows them to optimise the number of clicks and app store visits resulting in higher CTRs (Click Through Rates) Optimization of the storefronts: After a “hero creative/or the main playable ad” is selected, Playrix changes the app icons and the first screenshots in the app stores to reflect a similar message with the ads.

In Fantasy Strike, you just click on anyone in your in-game friends list to challenge them. You just click on them to challenge, and that’s it. It’s intentional that you click once to challenge, they accept, then you are playing. Fantasy Strike uses GGPO’s rollback-style netcode, which at this point is not an innovation.

Carmen Palade – Animation. Still too much clicking required. The game still requires constant clicking, even more than Diablo, and this is something we’ll have to solve. This dapper fellow thinks there’s too much clicking. At some point we even had them painted in bright fuchsia. Cosmin Coroiu – 3D Art.

Since the defender has no way to protect his coins during a raid, the odds are balanced for the attacker by limiting the total loot that can be stolen and also fragmenting the total loot across the defender’s base. Most definitely, all these supercharged systems of CM need to be weighed against a tightly balanced economy.

The Ground Gives Way has an especially interesting approach, having the dungeon’s statues come to life after you acquire the trombone relic (yes, trombone) at the bottom, and you have to escape without being killed by the animated statues or whatever other creatures might still be in the way because they weren’t dealt with before.

And the point is that you… because you get so used to selling the idea, ultimately you'd know nothing about that idea until you market tested it, until you've, like, started building it, until you start getting some data. Gigi brought up a good point about the kinds of companies I sort of have three in my head about video games.

Rendering engineers are rare to find, so this can be a starting point. Ability to convert a Spatial Shader (or Shader Graph) to code in a single click, to customize it or learn how it works. Balancing pros and cons, it's probably not worth implementing it, but the door is open for it. Ability to bundle shaders inside materials.
