What does a good game consist of? (part 29)

Original challenge

Every game that is worth playing, is hard. What is rare is
a type or a game mode that is different from others. This
isn't just hard to make.

But also hard to beat, but without that, there would be no
fun. Zero challenge is a concept of a cold river water to
pass.

There are many original games, what is un common, is
the original challenge types. The later is by then, a lot
more imporant.

I really like death match mode, it is over used, but that's
not exactly a bad thing. What matters is if you're ready
to face the challenge.

Of adding the same famous over used game mode, but
it's still different than any other made before. What matters
here.

Is not wether you make an original game or a tough one,
what matters how you are going to make the challenges
of the game.

This is what makes games fun: challenge, story thrill, yawn
I tried this challenge for 1000 times, the excitement of
the real fear of death.

Level design basics, part 2

An arch level design is hard, as it doesn't involve only polygon boxes, but also also three dimensional curve lines. If you ever played. Americas army 1, you'll know how hard it is to make a curve building, like the famous over played bridge crossing map. The point is to start. With one curve. Curve is not a straight line, but it's still a line. Means it is possible to apply lines into a three dimensional level. arch 0 0 1 0

Level design basics, part 7

Meta files Meta means in between. Wild hard ware and soft ware connection. A game design level document is just documentation; it is normal text. Actual level files however are en coded. Not normal text, in other words; which is why they are a lot harder to make. Forests for example are hard to put into a text file. Trees are real world eco systems that are the source of nature and life. It is one thing to put a real world object into a game, what is even a LOT harder is putting one, for example a tree into a text file. Source code is just sofware, it is nothing but encoded writing, which is why to put it into soft ware is not exactly easy, but has been done many times before. However, putting source code directly into hard ware is a completely different thing. That's where meta files come in handy. Meta files are clay ware. They work very similiar to a human brain. Like a connection between software and hardware. A meta file contains level game design documentation and level code....

Coding

I find it extremely hard to code a game. It gets worse than that. I also have to do the game design, UI design, level design and the story. Basically lots of bugs, lots to learn, lots to design. The good news is I have a teammate and she works on level design and story. Helps a lot regardless there is tons of work to be done before even first of the three Trix games gets published. I sometimes work even 12 hours a day. Yikes!
