Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Good Bad Game Design. Skyrim is designed really badly. It's also designed really well. For an RPG, Skyrim is hilariously bad. The characters are incredibly dull, the places are bland, the voice acting is generic to a hilarious extent, the graphics are uninteresting, the fighting is uninteresting. Compared to non-open-world RPGs such as the Mass Effect series, Skyrim falls short on every measure. So why is it fun?

ProjectPerko: Abusing the Pipeline

http://projectperko.blogspot.com/2015/06/abusing-pipeline.html

Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Monday, June 29, 2015. One of the things I've done a lot of work on is allowing player content - whether through mods or in-game creation tools. More and more, I've come to think that in-game creation tools are not an efficient way to do it. I mean, if you can manage it, sure, but there are a lot of reasons to avoid in-game creation tools. But that got me to thinking. Once you think about using Unity or Unreal as a mod creation platform,...

ProjectPerko: March 2015

http://projectperko.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Monday, March 30, 2015. RPG Characters: The Obsidian Method. I played some of Obsidian's new game: Pillars of Eternity. Obviously, I haven't finished it. I only spent about 40 hours on it. It's good, but I'd like to talk about design a bit. I am vaguely creating an RPG engine, so it's good to think about these things, have tools ready to help people do them. Step 1: Pick stereotypes. The stereotypes can be quite niche ("young Romani" is a pr...

ProjectPerko: June 2015

http://projectperko.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. A while back I tried to write about Medieval Engineers, and I don't think I quite managed it. I put it off for later. Well, there is no later, they just ruined it. So let's talk about what was. Medieval Engineers had no inventory system. A construction game with no inventory system! It really felt like medieval engineering. It was a hint of a powerful idea that could have been absolutely unique. Even at its smallest, ...

ProjectPerko: October 2014

http://projectperko.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Friday, October 17, 2014. Characters in Noncombat RPGs. I wrote about a mechanic that can be used in noncombat RPGs. Because the noncombat conflict gameplay is so slow compared to combat, you need to have a tighter relationship between it and other kinds of gameplay. But there is another big problem with noncombat RPGs: stakes. Saving the universe by dancing! It's, uh. pretty forced. It could be that the Mass Effect designers didn't realize ...

ProjectPerko: Generating Episodes with Outrage

http://projectperko.blogspot.com/2015/08/generating-episodes-with-outrage.html

Chronicling the intrepid adventures of an ivory-tower theorist. Thursday, August 06, 2015. Generating Episodes with Outrage. Well, I thought about it a lot, and I came up with a new kind of game. It's a base building game - let's say it's about a space station. You build the station, manage the various pieces much like any other construction game. But it has a second kind of play: you can drop into episodic stories similar to what you might get on a TV show set on your station. Say, Babylon 5. The situat...

This is Jeff. This is Jeff On Games. Eat Sheep (and Die). GDC 2013 Programmers Panel. GCS Professional Programmers Panel is Back ». The Importance of Genre. July 9, 2013. Over GDC, I talked to a lot of people about genre, being generic, and how important that actually is. Being a part of a genre (and being generic) is sometimes looked at as a bad thing, especially in many indie developer circles. But, understanding genre, and what genre you'll fit into is extremely important. GDC 2013 Programmers Panel.

Design Rampage: September 2009

http://designrampage.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Thoughtful critique and commentary on the world of game design and the industry that surrounds it. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Because my Xbox 360 finally died I decided to play some older games that have been waiting for me in a stack for some time. One of these games is Killzone. What the bloody hell? I absolutely don't understand why checkpoints are far apart from each other like this in some games. I remember Resistance: Fall of Man. Games make you go through multiple boss fights without saving some...
