Arsenal has linear gameplay, which means there is a set end goal and all players are usually given the same set of tools, in Arsenals case. One important concept in game design is rewards.
Every person plays a game for the same reason, to get something in return. That can be many different things, a fun way to kill time, monetary benefit, the pride, it comes in all shapes and sizes. Games like arsenal are highly competitive and that keeps players coming. Another game with great game design is dark souls. The game was purposely made to be extremely difficult. This daunts beginners and pros alike, what makes dark souls great is the rewards.
When a player defeats a boss that they have spent the past 2 hours trying to beat, they freak out. A GDD is an amazing way to document key game features, art style, characters, and monetization. It is also an amazing way to show off your game idea to investors or potential publishers or external developers.
Creating a GDD is great for solo developers, but is nothing but awesome for development teams. If you bring on a new person onto your team, the GDD should suffice, of course, catching them up with other tools is good too.
Creating more ambitious and great user experiences is usually a team effort, which is why when you write a GDD, you often want it to be open to all parts of the development team. Every person on your team has valuable input that you may of never thought about. A great product that promotes collaborative writing and is mostly free is Google Docs. It is easy to share and collaborate in. Collaboration There are many roadblocks that come with collaborative game development.
Creating a product that was not up to the standard or deadline expected is one. To be honest, I do not have enough professional experience to do this piece justice, but TechSpectrum definitely does. As a scripter you are in charge of programming many different systems and the general framework of the game. Scripting can often be a daunting task and some people stay away from it for that very reason.
Although it can be hard, it is often extremely rewarding. DevHub The DevHub is and will be your best friend not just for scripting but for anything roblox development related.
Take for example little jimmy. Jimmy uses it and now his script works. Jimmy now fixed his problem, and at the same time did not clutter the forum. Be like Jimmy.
Learning Learning how to script is often something you take on by yourself. If you are teaching yourself, its great to set up ground rules so you do not get distracted or demotivated.
Starting with Topic 1 Start Small , create something small, or a project that is extremely specific, lets say in a year from now you want to start developing a racing game. First you would experiment with ROBLOX physics and get used to them, you could make a wacky game using those physics Rdite or start creating very basic vehicles. Next you would learn how to script rounds so you can make rounds in your racing game. It may sound scary, but its actually not very difficult, almost every piece of code can be explained with this ideology.
The only thing hard about programming is learning its syntax and learning how to create readable and efficient code. To understand why, think about what the computer does, it reads the code, like a language.
It has to go through every line of code. A more cost efficient way to do this would be to use a function. I will speak in a combination of code and English for this. Our function will then go and take the value of the eye color we chose and we can use a return to return the value and use that value to change our eye color.
Organization Organization is crucial when it comes to creating any game. You want to make the game easy to edit for you and any other developers sake. The GUI has multiple Frames with the same name, that is an issue when you start to script the UI, as the script cant tell which frame to edit, so it picks the one with a higher priority. This is also the case with the TextLabels. Also our replicatedstorage is messy and our workspace has tons of parts.
This is where our best friend Folders come in. Our game looks much cleaner. Try it out yourself and organize the games elements OrganizeMe. The FE update broke many games because it was easier to script through the client than to client and server.
No matter how many times my developer buddies tried explaining it to me, i still would never get the picture. The TurboFusion gun kit was extremely popular pre-fe because it was easy to configure and add. The client is you, that includes all the user interface, sometime particle effects and those semi-transparent parts you see in tycoons.
