We’ll let you in on a little secret 🤫 There’s 2 common themes that successful runner games on the top charts have shared: 1) Gate runners 2) Big visual changes in creatives That’s why it’s no secret that Build A Queen stuck to these themes and has ruled the charts since its launch 👑 If you’re feeling inspired by Build A Queen’s success, check out our tips & tricks for building your own runner game: https://lnkd.in/d85N7Pbn

Hello ! When developing a new game prototype, it's essential for me to maximize the chance of achieving good KPIs from the first iteration (or at least, to have good insight on how to improve them in a future update). To accomplish this, I focus on various aspects ranging from gameplay to tracking user behavior. Here, we're taking our last game, Dino Valley, as an example. 🐣

This is Roadwork Rampage! Roadwork Rampage is an infinite runner with the ultimate goal of total street annihilation. Unleash your inner road rage and achieve a top score by creating more destruction than ever before, but be careful around obstacles or risk slowing down and potentially running out of fuel. Swerve the car left and right to hit as many things as possible before inevitably running out of fuel. Remember to collect as much fuel as possible so you can keep increasing your score. Beat your high score by getting even better scores from causing even more destruction than before. I worked on this game in a team of 3 at Mini Mammoth Games. I was the sole programmer and assisted much in the design of the game too. We had to create and publish 2 games from scratch in 5 weeks, in total we were only able to spend 5 days of work on each game. I will showcase the other game in the next post.

On Design Creativity process I stumbled upon this short video from Old Skull Games describing how one of their team started their project. https://lnkd.in/g5CR448H TLDR for non French speakers: 💡 Project started out of an internal game jam. Few studios support this method and this time, it has proven invaluable. The early concept was also vetted by other teams which confirmed they had "something" with that early prototype. ✏ Iteration - While the general idea was sticking, other teams' feedback was that there an "ingredient" missing. 📝 With that information, they knew they definitely had something. And kept working on it. ⚔ Additional iterations led the team to find their "Aha moment" and find one feature that enhanced gameplay experience. 🎶 While some early feedback commented on the possibility to break the rhythm, additional fine tuning allowed the flow to be enhanced and strengthen the gameplay experience. 📂 General takeaway: GameJams are great. They allows Creativity, team bonding and if set with certain parameters, or none, to give birth to new projects/concepts. While I was at #offworldindustries we had those and they were invaluable on so many aspects. Most of all, "Iteration" is key on so many aspects of development. There is no way around it. #gamedevelopment #creativedesign #design #creativity #gamejam

This is a very good analysis on the state of the video game industry at present. While we’re seeing a complete breakdown of the current paradigm, this needed to happen. I’d like to see a stabilization, a return to form, a use of games as art to spread a message by people who actually have something to say. Not more online looter shooters and garbage that is just being pumped out to make money. We’re going through a dark period and the workers are having to take the fall for a lot of other people’s bad decisions, but that also means that rich people in suits who are disconnected from reality are finally being forced to learn what doesn’t work and what people don’t want more of, and that’s a good thing. Hopefully this means that we’re waking up and that the future of games as art, not just money making machines, will be a bright one.

for my latest game design video, I talked about how some consumers and designers view videogames through tunnel vision, and how that's not how you want to approach building a game https://lnkd.in/eDe8ztCT
