    Here's the crib notes!
    1) Show the problem before offering the solution (in game design).
    2) For the developer, the level design is 5x more complicated that you think (because you are so familiar with it, its not the same as playing for the first time as a new player.)
    3) Giving the player mechanical choices instead of choices in the world, is more engaging for the player (more bang for the buck, as Thomas puts it. Basically, better to give a choice of abilities to be used as opposed to say, multiple paths through the world for example.)
    4) If the player doesn't learn something they can use to their advantage in the future, they will get bored. (Learning is fun because as the player it makes you feel like you out-smarted the game and are improving, by being able to apply your playing experience to become better at the game.)
    5) Don't be afraid to show the player what is going on. (Don't be afraid to 'break the 4th wall' by explicitly saying via text or instruction exactly what the player should be doing. Assume this would be double-true in a tutorial level / early level. )
    6) When in doubt, surprise the player. (If you don't know what to do for a particular design element, the worst thing you can do is bore the player. So if you entice with a mystery, or unlocks, or an unexpected mechanic that is just for fun, that's way more engaging than doing what is expected, i.e kill a skeleton in an RPG through normal attacks. Introduce surprises to engage interest.)
    7) [Bonus!] Throw in Funsies in dry spots. Thomas mentioned this in a prior video and I really like it. It can be great to just have a mechanic or thing that exist purely fun, and that's the good use of time or a mechanic. For example, using a toilet in a bathroom like Duke 3D. It's just a stupid little thing, but it adds a surprising amount to the game. Or for example, if you have something like a big crate with a ? on it, you better be able to open (as most players would try) or the player will be disappointed. Funsies add to the overall experience.
    Thanks Thomas! Will keep this mind as I work on my own (RoadHouse Manager).

      No magic numbers are true. It wasn't 5x, his own example was 3x. Much better would be to say that the levels are more, or even much more, complex to the user than to the designer. Less punchy, more true.

    Hey! I’ve been a game developer for over 10 years and once led a studio of over 10 people on a single project. That game has been in production for almost a decade, and we’ve changed so much that only about 25% is complete. We made countless mistakes along the way and learned a lot, but it cost us financially. Now, it’s just me-a programmer/game designer (not the best artist)-and a friend who co-founded the studio. After a 3-year break (during which I worked for other companies as a senior programmer), we’re reigniting both the game and the studio. Discovering your channel has filled me with hope and inspiration to finally finish this project! Thank you!

    Number 1 really depends on the context. For some players finding a "key" before they know of a "door" can be the trigger to find out what it "unlocks" which is fun to them. Opposite is also true, when you find a "door" and you now have to find a "key" - it might be a chore, especially if it takes a lot of backtracking. Finally if you always follow one way or another in design - it becomes mechanical and boring. "Oh, a door, now I need to find a key, again" or "Oh, a key, now I have to find what it's for, again". A mix should be used in right pacing, and for different kinds of "doors".
    E.g. Main Doors always require you to go find the Main Keys (story blocker), but Side Keys require you to find the Side Doors (exploration)

    • @xalxika
      @xalxika 18 дней назад +3

      I think the problem is, its not always clear when you have the key, if you missed the door already (or vice versa), so you backtrack to make sure before going forward.

    13:01 That reminds me that (especially for certain types of players, such as me) the mystery doesn't have to be really be related to the plot or "in-world" as a mechanical one can works just as well if not even better, ie. what does this stat or action do or even just having UI, menus or options that you show in an obscured(-???-) manner.

  • @LanceThackeray
    @LanceThackeray 3 месяца назад +15

    On the first point about showing the lock before the key, I'm one of those who purposely does the opposite of what a game guides me to do. Tell me to go right, I go left. Shine a spotlight on importance, I walk into the darkness. I often find myself completing side quests before even meeting the characters who assign them to me.
    I REALLY enjoy playing games that way though. Slow playing and exploring every nook and cranny for as long as possible while avoiding progression. It's a completionist mentality that came from 90s games being so expensive and my dad saying "I'm not buying you another until you complete this one." I'm glad he instilled that me in hindsight! No better feeling that discovering a secret off the beaten path.
    Anyway, as long as it's possible I'll always find that key before the lock, so apologies if that's a headache but also thank you if you leave that as a possibility in the first place. It allows me to form my own curiosities at my own pace, and holding an item with no clear intended use can actually be quite exciting.

      That's how I was taught to play games. It started with Ocarina of time. Over 26 years later and I still have never played it all the way through.
      I examine every crack. I inspect every level that I can both at day time and night time. I look for changes to old areas after completing major tasks.
      And then I get burnt out and stop. A few months later I restart the game because I forget where I was. Now I'm in my 30s and am still doing this.

    • @Shikigami6
      @Shikigami6 3 месяца назад

      Asking for my own game: Lets say the game is targeting an audience like you and me, coming from the 90s with said mentality in mind to explore every corner and rewarding players for doing so, would you feel betrayed if the developer would try to trick you by doing exactly that and trying to anticipate it? Not just flipping the paths but occasionally trying to know where players like you and me would search first in order to "trick" the game or do you insinst on doing so and it would take away from your enjoyment if the paths weren't as predictable? :)

    • @motioncache
      @motioncache 3 месяца назад +1

      @Shikigami6 do you mean the game would adapt to where we explore and make that always lead to where the developers want us to go? If that's what you mean, then I guess I wouldn't know that I didn't have free will, so it wouldn't matter unless the developers let that information out. Then some people might be mad. But I'd bet that would cause a lot of discussion around the game. ~ EDIT: Oh, never mind. I know what you said. No, I think games should always anticipate exploration and reward for it.

    • @LanceThackeray
      @LanceThackeray 3 месяца назад +1

      @@Shikigami6 I wouldn't feel betrayed at all. I'd be impressed more than anything. That said, I wasn't really speaking in terms of exploration/reward in a general sense.
      Regarding his point of getting a key before a door, he was saying that it wouldn't feel rewarding, and I'd agree if the key was forced into your possession in a linear fashion because then why would the door be locked in the first place if it's never actually a barrier? That would indeed be bad design.
      However, that doesn't mean key before door is always automatically a bad thing to be prevented. If obtaining a key is still possible but requires very unlikely exploration (like solving a puzzle without a clue first), that's not the same thing as being handed one. I wouldn't reach the door and think "wow what a pointless door I can unlock already", instead I'd still feel VERY rewarded for my time spent and feel like a badass showing up with it in my pocket already, like you outsmarted the game by being one step ahead. That's a positive IMO!

    But, seriously don't make the impact like we must restart or die like Dark Souls, I mean just put the surprise element like that, except someone wants to make the Dark Souls kind of game.

  • @Algorhythmic
    @Algorhythmic Месяц назад +1

    This is a great list. You touched on something in the sixth principle that I think is important when you talked about White Lotus. Show the player what the goal is from the beginning. There are AAA games that make this mistake. It can be simple like “escape the location”, “kill the big bad”, or “get the item and return” that a lot of roguelikes copy. There can also be sub goals but the main goal should be in the players mind and you should reinforce it from time to time.

  • @crazycatlady2744
    @crazycatlady2744 22 дня назад +2

    I think a lot of these depend. Like yeah, it's important to not make the starting levels so confusing that people have a hard time getting out of them, but too many games these days are trending towards holding the player's hand too much and not encouraging problem-solving. There needs to be a balance between helping the player learn the mechanics of the game without insulting their intelligence.

  • @CharlieFleed
    @CharlieFleed 10 дней назад

    The way you explained principle 3 is a little bit confusing but I think it's akin to the idea of giving the player a good "toy" to play with, something that is fun to use, manipulate, see moving and act, before even thinking of story, game mechanics, level design, etc. This is talked about in "The Art of Game Design".
    Principle 4 is talked about too in the same book, the player needs to feel that they are mastering a skill, so you need to give them the elements to master the game, recognizing enemies and their moves and finding/learning how to react is one of them.
    Principle 5 can be a real pain... so... tutorial, tutorial, tutorial, tutorial...

    I know all of this seems obvious, but it is often the most obvious stuff that is completely overlooked or not thought about at all. Like there is a reason why one of the first things IT asks the client is: did you turn the machine off and on again? Computers do not actually just work 100% of the time. Sometimes small things happen withing the machine that makes a function in the software unfunction, and the only way to fix it it to reboot the computer. And then that one thing never happens again, because computers are just weird like that. So yeah, people might groan about how obvious this stuff is, but for some developers just having someone say it out lout is a complete gamechanger for them.

    I’ll give you a bonus one
    “If your game has points of no return, make it obvious to the player”.
    If you look you’ll see it in games all the time. If entering a certain room triggers a cutscene for example, designers will often have that door be slightly open with maybe some visible light shinning through or something.
    This sends a subconscious signal to the player “if you wanna explore and find any hidden stuff, best do that before going this way”.

What's the point of learning a new mechanic if it's going to last just that one level? And you're already halfway there when you get used to it, finished when mastering it and then just to discard it.

    Please don't take it the wrong way: I know you have some ego because I have too.
    I can see you made a real effort to reveal some vulnerability in this video. Thank you for that! It was very insightful.

      But if you wanna argue semantics then you will include none of it.

    Im designing my gane and surprisingly enough the map xan act as a tutorial reminder and also highluggy ehich levels have them, also you can track which were completed and then put he replay tutorial toggle in the menu or in the map withiut needing a new playthrough. But not all games have replayable levels out of sequence like this.

    10:12 Do you mean to say, constantly different enemy telegraphy? I think even that is possibly had fun with in Diablo-likes and ARPGs. A faster-attacking enemy to a slower one imo is a standard, so long as it is the same read, such as always a faster-attacking enemy with specifically a sword and dagger, every time.
    Maybe you mean just like constantly changing enemy like purple enemy 1, green enemy 2, exploding greadsword enemy 3, machinegun bulwark enemy 4, teleporting enemy 5, pickpocketing enemy 6, doppelganger enemy 7, poison-bullet enemy 8, guitar soloing enemy 9, and passive decoy enemy 10, and then like 50 more enemies all completely different. That WOULD be obnoxious, and immersion-breaking imo.
