The Worst Game Feature Ever » Level 99 Games We play games–all kinds of games from sports to board games to video games–in order to do. When you play a game, your choices will hopefully determine your ultimate success or failure. Those who make the best choices or perform most successfully will have an advantage to win the game (if not guaranteed victory, in games that do not utilize randomness as a mechanic). So what is the worst feature you can pack into a game? It is the antithesis of what games are about: Inaction–either enforced or encouraged. By making use of skipping turns as a game effect. Such games are commonly called ‘snore-fests’, ‘sleepers’, ‘lemons’, or more commonly just ‘boring’, and are not invited back to the game table for a replay. In most games, turns are an inevitable part of the game’s simulation that cannot be removed. Allow optional cooperation – If you are building a co-operative game, it makes sense for other players to be able to jump in and help you if the going gets tough.
indieBits — Go Indie. Be Creative. Live Well! Tutorial on 9845 Game Design Why and How As long as automated data processing exists, implementing games on computer systems had been one of the most deeply settled desires of any computer programmer. One reason of course is the challenge. Wereas real mainframes were most of all number crunchers and excelled primarily on pure computation tasks like chess algorithms, workstations and as such the HP 9845 were in the middle between home computers and mainframes. Actually, performance always depends on specialization vs. generalization. The strength of the 9845 system was directed much more towards engineering requirements like CAD (where the 9845 outperformed most other systems) than to arcarde style games. This section now concentrates on what can be done with a 9845 system, and how it can be done. In case you want to learn more about games written for the HP 9845 platform, also have a look at the new 9845 Games Section. Background: Basics of Game Design In principle not much has changed during the years. Speed Real Time

Good Rules, Bad Rules » Level 99 Games I played a game last night called Inn Fighting. It was decently complex. The cards had lots of words, there was thick rulebook, and you had to roll 6 dice a turn, then interpret the results, then roll a few more dice, just to get anything done. Here was the sequence of play: I was dealt some random cards and set up with these cards.On my turn, I would roll the dice and choose one of the options the dice presented (if more than one option came up, which often was not the case).Roll more dice to determine how many points I got.Pass my turn to the next player. Just one round after Inn Fighting began, I had already spotted a glaring deficiency in the game. Ultimately, the rules for Inn Fighting could have been the same as for high card (everyone draw a card from a poker deck, highest card wins), because the rules did not give the players any options–they were nothing but a set of restrictions for interpreting die rolls. Premise Rules – these are the premise of the game.
