Hey,
Good morning and how are you doing today?
Today’s newsletter will be short, we will be talking about one of the basic concepts of game development, “The 3c’s of Game Design”.
Before we get into it, I want to say thank you to everyone that came out for our 1v1 that happened on Saturday. Just like Arogz in FIFA, GenZOD was also unbeatable in MK11. I hope to see you next month, we will be playing street fighter
The 3c’s of Game Design/Development
Character Design: Character design is an essential part of game development. It is important to create characters that are not only visually appealing, but also fit the game's narrative, world, and mechanics. The character's abilities and metrics, such as their jumping distance, damage output, and movement speed, should be carefully considered. By focusing on these factors, developers can create characters that are both engaging and satisfying to play.
Camera Perspective: The camera perspective is another important consideration for game development. The right camera perspective can help to immerse the player in the game world and make the experience more enjoyable. There are a variety of camera perspectives to choose from, including first-person, third-person, isometric, and top-down. The best perspective for a particular game will depend on the game's genre, style, and purpose.
Control: Control is the final piece of the puzzle when it comes to creating an exceptional gaming experience. The "feel" of controlling a character is a defining aspect of successful games. It should feel natural and intuitive to move and perform actions. Achieving this level of control is challenging but noticeable when done right. Constant playtesting and dedicating ample time to refining the controls are crucial steps before progressing to level design and other aspects of game development.
I hope these concepts help you bring your game ideas to life.
