Game Genres
What Makes A GameThe main components of designing a game are:1. Graphics-the visual presentation of the game2. Game Mechanics-elements the player is actually engaged with in the game3. Audio-the additional feedback. The Core of a game is the Game Mechanics.
Pikmin is an example -"Pikmin is a 3D, top-down, strategy game, with the player controlling Captain Olimar from a third-person viewpoint. Olimar is followed by the Pikmin, whom he directs. Both Olimar and the Pikmin are approximately an inch in height." ---- Wikipedia - main character a miniature alien - navigating a terrain -brings wonder to an environment we take for granted - use everyday items like logsMushroom Men - Another game - theme examplehttp://www.mushroommen.com/
Where do you begin when designing a game?The Design Process: Anything can inspire a game: life, TV, Movies, emotions can inspire a game. All these things can inspire the elements in a game. Explore a lot of options. If it can work on paper, it can probably work on screen. Copying from the classics is a great way to learn. Drawings help visualize game play scenarios-making paper prototypes. Game design is an art and science-play games so you get ideas and it helps to study other designer's methodsPatience -You will probably fail more times than you will succeed and that is normal. Learn from your design choices and Don't give up. Games are fun and awesome.
