3 What is this course about? Gameplay mechanics Rapid prototyping Many examples FUN! Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 3
4 play mechanics are the foundation on which games are built Playing with power Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 4
5 Game mechanics=ideas mechanics determine structure and rules: how you win how you lose what to do to stay alive Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 5

24 About myself Andrei Sharf _spring2012.htm Research: Computer graphics, interactive techniques, shape modeling, geometry processing 3D shape acquisition, urban modeling, 4D detection Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 24
25 Agenda 1. Definition of game and game design 2. Game design in small teams 3. Quick and dirty: rapid prototyping 4. Abstraction of the real world 5. Game feel : principles of virtual sensation 6. Games as systems/simulations in software 7. Prototype design (+ programming) strategies Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 25
26 More agenda Reuse content: photos, 3D scans (bubbles, puzzles) How Trauma Evokes a Realistic Atmosphere The Game Prodigy - The Source for Game Design.flv Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 26
27 More agenda Create/control feelings and moods Tricks and magic with smartphones Smartphone interaction (more architecture less gaming) Ipod Magic Deception (Viral Video) - Iq187 Tech Talk #16 - YouTube.flv Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 27
28 Course structure Teams of 3-4 people (start forming this week) Weekly (mandatory!) meetings Sunday (503 build. 72): Lecture Monday (304 build. 28): Practice You will need at least two full days outside of class to work on games (likely more) First 6 weeks: 3 prototypes per person! Rest: each team fully develops their favorite and most successful prototype Home quiz + Oral quiz Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 28
29 Requirements Most importantly: time Almost as important: dedication It would be beneficial to have experience in one or more of the following areas Graphics programming (OpenGL, etc.) General programming and systems design Classical art and painting/sketching/animation Sound and music design Organizational and team leading capabilities Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 29
30 Submissions 3 game prototypes Final game design document Final game prototype Final game beta Final game Home quiz Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 30
31 Tools? XNA ( core and concepts will be covered in practical session Other possibilities Straight up OpenGL and C/C++ or Java Unity 3D Flixel (Flash AS3 libraries) SDL ( 2D boy framework ( Whatever works Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 31
32 Platforms? Again, whatever you like PC / Mac Xbox 360 (via XNA) iphone You will need to take care of your own hardware, and be able to present prototypes in class on a weekly basis Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 32
33 Contact Andrei Sharf Reception: Monday 12-14, Room 313 Gilad Bauman(TA) Reception: Monday Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 33
34 What is a game? and what is game design? Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 34
35 What is a game? Many definitions exist Common in many definitions: Participants (players) Decisions (interactions) Conflicts (opposition) Resource management (game tokens) Pursuit of a goal (or goals) (and all of this in a closed, formal system) Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 35
36 What is game design? A form of modern day Alchemy If we knew the formula for a great game we would always use it Alchemy has advanced to chemistry, so we can advance to a science too, right? Define rules / guidelines of the game Design interesting interaction Risk and reward (e.g. interesting decisions for player) Advance the plot (score, level, skill, narrative, etc.) Keep the player challenged, not frustrated Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 36
37 Aspects of video game design What is video game design? Player mechanics and controls? Game rules, dynamics and goals? World and level design? Choice of colors, icons and setting? Interactive sound and music? Intuitive tools and code for designers and coders? Enemy/ally intelligence and behavior? Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 37
38 Aspects of video game design Answer: All of the above (and more) video game design is inherently interdisciplinary learn as much as you can about all aspects of a video game - you will be a better video game designer! Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 38
39 Fundamental meaningful play Descriptive Relationship between player action and system outcome Evaluative Discernable Perceive the immediate outcome of player action Explosion, sound effect, game state change Integrated Outcome of an action is woven into the game system Actions on earlier levels influence gameplay later on Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 39
40 Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 40
41 Game Design Team Players For small/medium sized game projects Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 41
42 Small design teams Team lead / design Organize team Schedule milestones Iterate game design and game rules Study game theory etc. See: Rules of Play, Theory of fun, The Art of Game Design Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 42
43 Small design teams Gameplay programmer game AI : refers to rulebased aspects software engineer encode behaviors, path planning, state machines, etc. Works closely with lead game designer Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 43
44 Small design teams Graphics programmer Rendering technology Work with content creator on procedural content Interface with gameplay programmer (collision detection, events, etc.) Polish the visuals with particle effects, etc. Bizarre Creations Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 44
45 Small design teams Content creator 2D Sprites (Photoshop) 3D Models Textures, Normalmaps 2D/3D animations Sound design Role of an art director Coherent look-and-feel Adapt style to game mechanics and story Nintendo God of War, SCEA Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 45
46 Small design teams None of these roles are carved in stone The previous example is one way of splitting work among a group of four Many successful projects have been completed by groups of two, and also solo developers Tip/trick: realistically adjust your design ambitions to the expected man-hours you will be able to invest Nintendo Video Game Programming - A. Sharf 46
