GenoTerra - The finished prototype.

Mnenad

Prototype is ready! But I can now proudly announce that a playable prototype for the video game GenoTerra is finished (and I graduated with the Master in Design *yay*). But before I explain the narration, I want to jump back in time when I started building the endless terrain generator. Master in Integrative Design.

Coherent Creature Design

Mnenad

As I promised in this chapter I will dig deeper into the designing process around the creatures that will be walking on the procedural terrain. We rather think of an ideal or prototype bird like this one over here from a kid's science book. Designing the game world's creatures. The same is valid for weapons of all kind. Concept art.

Rebalancing Cogmind

Grid Sage Games

The scope of this rebalance is way too large to cover in its entirety, and while I don’t plan to write about every aspect, we’ll be looking at the broad strokes and pick out some representative examples here and there. Exiles Prototypes. ASCII art for Exiles prototypes. Categorical Approach. Slot-wise Approach.
