Over the past year or so you may have heard me mention I've been making a game. Often when I share this with people, I find they struggle to know how to respond. Most people can picture what goes into writing a book or making a movie, but probably have little idea what goes into making a game. So the conversation often stalls, as they don't know how to ask questions or engage with the topic. All of this makes me a little sheepish so I don't talk about it too much with people in real life. But in my nights and weekends, I'm working on my game ☄Comet. (And when I'm not working on it, I'm often thinking about it) It's for a small indie handheld game console called the Playdate. Today, the company behind the Playdate, Panic, Inc., put out a major update video to share some exciting games coming to the platform, and I was asked to be a part of it . There's still a lot of game to make, and it's hard to say when these things will be finished. But I'm working on it. I must say, it's nice to have a creative outlet in my life. When I started this project, my goal was to put something into the world without any expectation that people would care about it. And now a lot of people do, which feels weird. Here's a trailer for my game ☄Comet. https://lnkd.in/ebB3-jAz A lighthearted puzzle adventure game.

Game mechanics are the rules or systems that govern how a game functions. Here are four fundamental elements of game mechanics I have found:

Here is my new article on game mechanics. Have fun tearing it apart in the comments! (Seriously, though, I would love to hear if you have a different take. I think what I am saying is interesting and valid, but these are complex topics, and different views improve our design abilities.)

Introduction to 'Extort' in Magic: The Gathering In the strategic universe of Magic: The Gathering, the Extort mechanic emerges as a unique and powerful tool. Rooted in the Orzhov guild's ethos, Extort allows players to transform their spells into sources of damage and life gain. This ability, which triggers upon casting a spell, offers the player an option to pay additional mana. #CardSynergy #deckbuilding #dueltactics #Extort #Extortstrategy #gamestrategy #lifedrainmechanic #Lifelink #Magicgameplay #MagicTheGathering #manausage #metagame #multiplayerMagic #Orzhovguild #resourcemanagement #spellcasting
