What does a good game consist of? (part 31)

Level tasks

Making fun tasks for the level, is fun developing and makes for
excellent levels. This can be missions, secrets, quests, objectives,
puzzles, side quests, unlocks, story tasks, memory puzzles and most

importantly explore tasks.  Legend of zelda: breath of the wild has a
very large ammount of stuff to beat after you bet the all the story
line quests and levels. It's not necessary, but still hell tons of

fun. All level tasks work something like a bar code, it is hard to
decrypt, unless you have something like a c++ encryption. However,
even levels tasks are built by a game maker or in some cases a

programming language, so we are back to the start of the problem.
Really challenging levels might sound ten times over expensive or
sometimes just plain stupid, but it's a more than welcome reality.

Making camp levels is for example a giant channel, becomes it
requires tons of investment and copy rights support of the us army
army, but with a lot of creativity it is possible to made anyways.

Here is an example level tasks in level design documentation:

the first floor is basic

It is a floor based level design:

First floor = regular rewards
second = regular + unlocks
third = uncommon + unlock + secrets
fourth = boss key

This is a 3 d game. Getting on a higher sounds easy, but it isn't.
This is just a basic pattern example for you to understand, how level
tasks work. Here's another:

main mission = beat the level in 20 min = 20 points
bonus mssion #1 = ?                                = 15 points
bonus mssion #2= ?                                 = 15 points
bonus mssion #3= ?                                 = 15 points

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

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 ...
