HOW I DESIGN GAME MONSTERS: a twitter thread or, No More Zombies, a TED Talk Work out: Desired Player Behaviour Appearance Rule Surprise Structure Defeat Requirements Alert Rules When to fight / to take flight

HOW TO DESIGN GAME MONSTERS
HOW TO DESIGN GAME MONSTERS

The goal of designing good monsters for me is building a cohesive experience that thrills the player and teaches them how to cope with this new threat. We’re killing off zombies because they’re tired, but we love zombies (those fuckers persist) and they fit this structure

👻

Desired Player Behaviour

Desired Player v Monster Behaviour How should the player act? shoot? flee? fight? sneak? solo? or backup? Build a base? Tear down the environment? Hunt and exterminate? Pretend to be one? Distrust strangers?

Plan these first; they’ll guide your ideas

Appearance Rule

Monster Appearance Rule When do they appear, and where? Are they fast? What size are they? Are they limited e.g. to water or unlit areas or soft soil or trees, etc?

If they hide & appear suddenly in some places, consider the reward/risks to the player entering those areas

Surprise Structure

Monster Surprise Structure 1 What rules for behaviour or ecology will surprise the player? Every great monster has rules that it follows. Zombie bite? You’re a goner. Werewolf and full moon. Vampires look like us, but can be detected through certain rituals.

Monster Surprise Structure 2 Pick something and find a way for the player to distrust it or fear it. Food that can contaminate you. Direct light? Wind? Open spaces? Make rules for monster times/zones Invisible monsters only detectable by footprints that the rain will mask.

Defeat Requirements

Monster Defeat Requirements Good monsters come with rules for defeat. You can make them unstoppable with a small set of weaknesses, then wrench-in an in-universe explanation for being unstoppable. (They regenerate! They don’t feel pain! They’re sentient slime! Supernatural!)

👽

Alert Rules

Monster Alert Rules Fear works really well when there are signs that danger is nearby or lurking. Do they make a mess of corpses they’ve attacked? Moan? Cause electrical devices to malfunction? Be careful of choosing something 100% reliable, though – it evaporates tension

👹

When to fight / to take flight

When to fight / to take flight Decide when it’s a safe time to be around a monster, and when you should definitely leg it. Zombies are okay if slow and spread-out. Some blind monsters can’t hear you if there’s noise nearby. Safer zones/places/densities/environments

    Dear game-developers.org Admin. I just found your site, quick question… My name’s Eric, I found game-developers.org after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well. So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything? Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever. That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes. Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste? Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry. But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket? You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW. Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number.

CLICK HERE http://jumboleadmagnet.com to try out a Live Demo with Web Visitors Into Leads now to see exactly how it works. When targeting leads, you HAVE to act fast – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better! That’s why you should check out our new SMS Text With Lead feature as well… once you’ve captured the phone number of the website visitor, you can automatically kick off a text message (SMS) conversation with them. Imagine how powerful this could be – even if they don’t take you up on your offer immediately, you can stay in touch with them using text messages to make new offers, provide links to great content, and build your credibility. Just this alone could be a game changer to make your website even more effective. Strike when the iron’s hot!

This bot allows you to create 3 types of bots and profiles in number limiting resources of PC: – bot working from the native IP – bots working through a proxy – Bots working with multi-accounts Each in turn, if necessary, enter your data in all the right fields and completely simulates human behavior. Also in the software built-in function “ANTI-BAN”: – Each bot and the creation of a new profile generates its own browser fingerprint! An important feature of the software – is the ability to work in manual mode under the selected profile [url=https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3eiG/7e8VzuRUt]Bots for crypto arbitrage[/url]
