My only complaint
about Injustice is the costumes, but I have faith in NeatherRealm to make a fun
game, and I like the comic so far, so if costume
design is the only problem, I can't complain too
much.
I
designed the original concept, I started the project, set up the team, organized and scheduled everything from the very first day until the very last, I made 90 % of all environment art,
about 30 % of the levels, roughly 30 % of the scripting, pretty
much all effects, I optimized the whole
game and set forth all the technical constraints, safe - guarded the consistency of all the art that was made, and so on.
«I think our team has learned so
much about this genre of
game design and we still have a lot of unique and interesting ideas that I think could make another great
game,» she notes.
There isn't
much known
about the
game online, other than its absolutely gorgeous concept art and
design idea.
This
game would introduce the Mushroom power - up, interestingly, this mechanic of «smaller Mario, bigger Mario» came
about through the initial
design process where levels were
designed around a
much smaller simpler Mario who would eventually be made larger in the
game's final version.
Ocarina of Time also set world records for high review scores, although personally I do not like the
game very
much, apart from two elements — the titular ocarina, which was perfectly
designed for the controller and taught the player some actual musical skills, and the horse Epona,
about which I will have more to say later in this serial.
In the next part, I will talk
about 2D and 3D art, sound / music, level
design / boss fights, play - testing, getting the
game onto an iPhone (Xcode), and the final crunch to the finish — the
much juicier — and rewarding - parts of
game making.
- the
game's shading mechanism has changed, which allows for increased gear texture quality - all graphical aspects and programming mechanisms have been built up from scratch for this sequel - maximum resolution is 1080p in TV mode - a bigger focus for Nintendo was the 60 frames per second - occasionally the resolution will be scaled down when there is too
much ink displaying on the screen - Nintendo reduced the CPU load and refined the way to use CPU power effectively to maintain 60 fps in all matches - weapons were tweaked to let players be more creative by thinking
about unique weapon characteristics and their best uses - weapons are
designed to be effective when they are used during the right occasion - Special weapons are stronger than the original ones when used in the right situation, but weaker otherwise - the damage and effect of slowing down your movement when you step in the opponent's ink are reduced from original - you can jump up in rank if you're good enough, but only up until S - you can't jump up from C, B or A to S + - when you win battles in Ranked mode, the Ranked meter fills and your rank goes up when its fully filled - when you lose a battle, the gauge does not decrease, but the meter starts to crack - once the meter reaches its limit, it breaks - when the meter breaks, you have to start over again from the beginning or from a lower rank - highest rank is still S +, but if you fill up the Ranked meter, you get numbers after the alphabet such as «S +1», «S +2» and so on - maximum number is «S +50», but this number will not be displayed to your opponent - you are the only one to see it, and you can check it on your own status screen - Ranked Power is calculated by an algorithm to measure how strong each player is with minuteness - this will determine if a player's rank is worthy of receiving a big jump (like from «C» to «A»)- Ranked Power has no relation to your splat rate, and is more tied into to how well you lead your team to victory - you won't drop off more than one rank even if you play poorly - stage rotation time was changed to two hours - this was done because the devs expected people to play for an hour or so, but they found people play
much longer - with Salmon Run, Nintendo considered how to implement a co-op oriented mode in a player - versus - player type of
game - the devs will monitor how users are playing this mode to see if there's some tweaks they can throw in - more Salmon Run maps will be added in the future, but Nintendo wouldn't comment on adding more enemy types to the mode - rewards are changed each time Salmon Run is played - you can obtain rewards when playing locally, but not gear - originally Nintendo had an idea for this mode, but had no background setting, enemy
designs, etc. - Inoue suggested that it should be salmon - themed - when Nintendo hosted the Splatfest that pit Callie against Marie, the development of Splatoon 2 had started - the devs had already decided to have the result reflected in the sequel - they even had an idea to announce the Splatfest with a phrase «Your choice will change the next Splatoon» - the timing to announce a sequel wasn't right, so they decided against this - they eventually released a series of short stories
about the Squid Sisters to show how the Splatfest affected the sequel's story - Nintendo wouldn't say if Marina is an Octoling, and noted that Inklings are not paying attention to this too
much - Inklings don't care
about appearances, as long as everyone is doing something fresh - the Squid Sisters had composers who produced their songs, but Off the Hook are composing their music by themselves - Pearl is genius artist, but she couldn't find a right partner because she's a bit too edgy - she eventually found Marina as a partner though, and their chemistry is sparkling right now - Nintendo is planning a year of content updates for Splatoon 2 - when finished, the quantity of stages will be more than the original - some of the additional stages are totally new and some will be arranged stages from the first
game - not all original stages will return and they are choosing stages based on the potential for them to be improved - Brella is shotgun-esque weapon, so the ink hits your opponent more if you are closer - it can shield damage when you open it, but the amount of damage has a limit and once it reaches it, it breaks - you can shoot ink, but you can't use the shield feature when it breaks - the shield won't prevent your allies ink - there are more new weapon categories which haven't been revealed yet - there are no other ranked modes outside of the three current options - the future holds any sort of possibility, but the devs didn't get specific
about adding more content like that - for the modes, they adjusted the rule
designs so that players will experience the more interesting aspects
Nothing
about this
game seems to justify a re-release some 12 - years after its initial launch, and I can't find
much reason to shell out the admittedly small asking price of # 12.99 unless you happened to be a fan of it back in the day, or perhaps if you're morbidly curious
about game design from back in the day.
And while I haven't personally spent nearly as
much time in the
game as a vet like Eliot, I'd heard that Yoshida was very
much a
gamer's developer, so I was looking forward to talking with him
about not just the
game, but
game design.
Mushroom 11, however, represents a more personal and experimental approach to Itay, as he questions

much more ambitious than how [we intended it to be when] we started.»
I very
much enjoy the character
design and use of bright colors, but there's nothing particularly special
about the way they're utilized in -
game.
Dedicated players that are passionate
about Mario and level
design, and those that get just as
much enjoyment out of entertaining others as they do themselves, are absolutely going to love this
game.
The «immersive sim» is a subgenre of
games that represents so
much about what I personally value in
game design: believable but unfamiliar places that feel lived - in as you explore them; an experience that's driven by the player's agency and the player's intent, that gives the player interactive tools to express their own role within that world; a set of
game rules that feel so internally consistent and responsive that they expand what the world is, and the feeling that you are really in it.
Sony's Shuhei Yoshida has suggested that the Playstation Vita's success will depend as
much on smaller titles and indie
games as it will on blockbuster AAA titles, noting that the portable console was
designed with one eye on thetraditional market, but that its conception came
about as a result of taking note of the burgeoning smartphone and tablet markets.
«I think I just have an idea in my head
about how big an adventure
game should be, so it's hard for me to
design one that's
much smaller than Grim Fandango or Full Throttle.
::) To be honest, I'm already sick of hearing
about the 3DS and hope that this keynote has more to do with
design (it is the
Game Developers Conference, after all) than a smug speech hyping Nintendo's latest product, as pointless as it may be to hope as
much.
The
game is
designed with balance in mind so casual players can choose whichever character they like and a kart based purely on the look without worrying too
much about performance.
One of the things
about the way that we
designed weapons on this
game (which is a little different than what we'd done before) was that it was
much more almost clinical trying to figure out what we needed.
While some
games are still very
much about reaching for the high score, there has been an evolution in
game design that has pushed the gaming industry towards comparisons to the movie industry.
The sound
design of this
game however is really bland and there's not
much good

Much like their name implies, Amanita

There's something very cool
about its relationship to the Dreamcast (still the last console I've bought; got three of them) that inspires and spurs my creativity in my own DC
game designs (which, unfortunately, don't get
much interest in the homebrew community... oh well)...
As Lara Croft was bigger and more recognised than the series she starred in back in 1997, Core
Design could have quite easily released a cash - in

much what Tomb Raider should have been
about back then.
It includes original, never - before - seen, artworks, concept art for all the characters and enemy
designs, behind - the - scenes commentary from Yacht Club Games

about building each piece of the
game, and
much more!
None of them were
about monetization, sales, numbers and not even very
much about making
games actually, but to inspire the audience to find more creative ways in
game design.
I could probably rant for hours
about just how
much I dislike NSMB and the fact that it became it's own subseries and Nintendo's tenacity to keep «New» in the title and how there still are two unnamed Toads instead of two of the bevy of existing Mario characters or someone new and how all the
games look the damn same and how the characters bounce off of each other like they're all trampolines and all the «bah - bah's» in the music which still probably hasn't changed and how I have to hold the Wiimote in that uncomfortable sideways position because even Nintendo realized motion controls don't work so the normal controller
designed is screwed beyond belief and gah.
