What does a good game consist of? (part 30)

 Good company organization

There is no need for employers to panic every single time someone
does makes a good job, to have a promotion meeting to evaluate the
performance. What is enough, is personal respecialization, or adding

the workload. A big problem however still remains are finances, but
only more if there are promotion problems. So what remains are big
financial risks. It takes a process meeting, and all workers have to

be informed of respecialization, even more in the cause of promotion.

Level dynamics

Good company organization leads to proper level design. Which
requires, that all levels are minimally or optimally connected to each
other, so that there is story cohesion, not only even in the cut

sequences. A good way to start would be to make an entire list, of
all the most important moving part of the level: character move
boosts and the moving parts of the level. After that list all the

level objects that are affected by wind. And finally list all the
parts of level that are dynamical, which means thar moving
internally. Level dynamics are very important, because they cause

external objects moving as they can be described on the level and
game design documentation and can be therefore seen on the level
while playing and on the dynamic level map. Level dynamics are in

other words internal object moving, if they are related to level
design. In other words, wind can be used to be a requirement for the
accomplishment of level's to beat tasks. Level dynamics are

basically every thing that moves, such as puzzle rooms and physics.
To make proper level dynamics, all the moving parts of the level
should be running in a growing loop. What regards the physics on

the other hand, a good place to start would clouds affecting lighting
rays, and water moving and waves flowing in a growing loop
functioning. A good level dynamics video game would be Prince of

Persia: Sands of Time.

static mesh render

Static mesh is a data compound of a three dimensional object in time and space. To render one, it takes a one big storage file that contains all the data about the object. That data has to be stored on a disk drive. The really tricky meshes to render are the flying ones. It's a completely different air pressure. The data gets written to a game memory log, it's a massive multiplayer online game, otherwise in the cloud, like Steam. To render one, the data from the level and monster data files to the monitor handling chip. Monitor handling chips vary based on personal computers, lap tops, operating system, processor and graphics car. Before a three dimensional object can be rendered it has to be fixed on memory, either random access memory or the disk drive recovery point. A three dimensional object data can take quite a large amount of memory, especially those used multiple times. Steam Cloud has it's own of handling data, so that it is persistent. A level is made of static m...

object render

To render objects with c++, it is first required to load them on the engine's heap. After loading the object it has to be integrated into the game engine's allocated memory. void integrate() {     direct_x_node.call(); } Modern games(after doom 2) take an insane amount of heap memory. Integrating all the objects on the level, can take 400 mb or random access memory (ram). The same memory has the chip effect on the working of the central processing unit. To completely render the object, the first step is to load all the textures, shadow models, parts, particles, inner model, render the object on the level map, all the corelations with the heuristics. It is very hard to render the inner part of the objects, such as anatomy or infra structure. While it is perfectly fine to just render the inner part to not be displayed.  The anatomy of a player character or non player can be seen on the outside, and the internal strurcture of a level object such as a building, including the ...

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
