BitArena

Thu, 11/29/2012 - 10:33 — abdantas

I settled on a name for my game.

BitArena

the tile based DOTA style action that places player vs player vs player is really coming together. The pixelated artwork is looking pretty good and the layout of everything feels very intuitive. I'm planning on doing some more of the artowrk and straightening out the rules.

I'll put a full synopsis of this game on this blog later this week, I'm very excited and feel like i'm working a second job right now but it's all good.

Modifying chess conflict rules

Mon, 11/26/2012 - 11:36 — lewpuls

I set myself the task of modifying chess in just one of the nine fundamental sub-systems of games: interaction of assets/conflict. Chess has a very simple conflict system: the attacker always wins via “displacement capture”. What happens if we change that?

Free Euro-Asian Republic - F.E.A.R

Tue, 11/20/2012 - 16:23 — Haxxx5

Because the comment on my last entry was relevant to this project, it's the first one to be presented.

F.E.A.R is a take that game that was put on the back burner of my thoughts because it would be to God Damn LOOOOONG...

Players play citizens in this oppressive totalitarian regime and try and stay Alive and Sane and make the most out of it.
The game works is rounds called Days, and player turns called Clocks.
The game comes to an end after a set amount of Days (5-7). The player with the lowest Character Elimina-tions or the most stable (closest to 0) Loyalty track, is the winner

Looking at game design as ways of introducing asymmetry

Tue, 11/20/2012 - 09:31 — lewpuls

In many “natural” games, such as sports, and in many traditional board and card games, every participant begins with an equal position and prospects to every other. This is symmetry. We can look at game design as devising interesting ways to break up symmetry, to introduce asymmetry. Some of these are achieved through player choice, some through randomness, some through uncertainty, and some through choice or caveat of the designer.

How many dice (to include with a game)?

Thu, 11/15/2012 - 13:49 — lewpuls

Those who like dice games are going to answer this question with “lots”! But game designers can’t think that way. Every item added to a game increases the retail price of the game very roughly six times the actual cost. So if you put in some extra dice that cost $.15 altogether the price of the game rises by at least a dollar. If you add a dollars’ worth of dice the price of the game increases by roughly six dollars.

AV begins to take shape.

Thu, 11/15/2012 - 05:44 — Evil ColSanders

Played a game of AV with Brian. It looks like the dice negation mechanic is the way to go. We had really crappy rolls but even still, we managed to deal 1-2 damage. The system was really flexible. Cover and abilites altered to-hit, then defense and abilities negated dice.

3 "Luck" coins per player. Coins refresh every round. 6 rounds. When model dies, owner gets 1 permanent coin added to the pool. Only the active model can use coins. All coin abilities can only be used once per model, per activation.
1 coin = +1 die when attacking
1 coin = +2 def if attacked
3 coin = regain 1hp
