A Journey on the High Seas of Game Design
Potential RPG September 21st. 2009, 11:02amI have returned from my voyage of game design discovery. The preceding software development gap represents not a wasteland of non-coding in the SLOC graph, but a vast sea of game design. Setting out Jul 31 from the lands of Alpha, on the high tide of game system capability, but in the rough surf of gameplay unrest, I navigated the wide ocean of potential game design. Through swells of concepts and torrents of rules, I sought for the tranquil waters of design simplicity and steady wind of compelling gameplay. Having charted such a passage, I struck land Sep 20 upon the shores of Beta, committing the first of my design discoveries to the travel log (software repository), as chronicled under Recent Improvements (see the sandbar… er, sidebar). The fruits of this journey shall be had by all, as I venture forth to forge new Lines of Code, as progress progresses anew.
