Redesigning Games

The game I made earlier this year: AiMazed

- Random dungeons are built and your job is to pilot a car through the maze and find:

- - - > A key

- - - > An exit

- - - > Enough crystals to power the exit warp

- Meanwhile, there is also an AI computer agent doing the same thing

My (Re)Design Methodology, buffed up a bit:

---Pre-Production of a working version---

- 1. Design the Game

- 2. Guess the AR Vector for your game (AR_PROJECTED) based on your own experience

- - - > 2b. Or, look up an AR Vector from previous knowledge based on the game class/genre

- 3. List each feature in your game

- 4. Score each feature in your game for AR (AR_i)

- 5. Add weights if necessary to the above features

- 6. Average each feature (AR_AVG)

- 7. Compare AR_AVG and AR_PROJECTED

- 8. Add features based on comparison in (7)

--- Post Production of a working version ---

- 9. Discover disruptions to game play and propose fixes to them

- 10. Propose whatever other suggestions you deem appropriate

If the AR_AVG for some aspect is less than that aspect in AR_PROJECTED, then you need to add some features to bring the AR_AVG up to the projection.

Above is put to work to redesign and make AiMazed better.

- This will give us two versions of the game

- Need places (separate places) to post game and get ratings

- Hypothesis: V2 using my method gives a better rating
