Beyond Playing Games.

Well, with some time from the last post, I’m here, writing again. On this post we’ll start to create a word. using the previous things we gonna try to make a Basic Game World.

This post will be very very short, is only an example to create a world.

For my example i chose a kitchen table.

Let start defining some things. Our World is a Wooden Chicken Table. 

Our Physics rules gonna be the same as the real world. we have gravity, and all things have his own space.

Naturally our kitchen table Background will be a kitchen, the ground is wood, and we gonna have some items on it. some knives, forks, and some tappers.

Try it, post in comments, make a basic world. and later we gonna expand it, put in some creatures, some “world history” and a lot more of things.

Cheers!

Our Game World

Hi everyone!

Today, i’ll write a very short approximation, of the most important aspects for Design Games Worlds.

First of all, we need to determinate “What is a virtual Game World?”

in a very short approximation, a Game World, is the place, where all the story of the video game happen. this world can be anything, depend of your game, this world could be a Cornflakes Cup, a Far Away Planet, an Ancient Kingdom, or anything that you can imagine.

Obviously this world, and any world you want to imagine, need to respect some rules.

1. Obey Physics Rules.
2. Have a Geography
3. Have his own history

This rules, are the most important rules, to have a “World” but, this is not all. For now, we gonna discuss this first tree rules.

1. Obey Physics Rules: Whats is the meaning of this? any world, have physics rules, like gravity (Has or not, in a mayor or minor grade, but need to have this)  the elements in the world have his own occupied space or not, have light?, have air? all of this are questions we need to do to ourselves at the moment of create the first version of our world.

2. Have Geography?  Ok, this is more obvious, his geography is in the air? in the space? under the sea? in the mountains? is a cold place? a hot place? inside a Vulcan? same as point 1, all this question must be answered to get the geography of our world.

3. Have his own History. finally, our world need to have a history, is a new world? a desolate place? an ancient kingdom? some of the history of our world, will give us, the start points to get later our character, and all the critters who live in our world.

An example of a world with a HUGE history, could be the universe of Warcraft. this world has all the previous steps, and A LOT more, his own excellent history, detailed characters, critters, monster, creatures, kingdoms, races. and a lot of more things.

An example of a world without history, could be Pacman, this game have his world (The screen where the points are placed) physics rules, (you can move only in four directions) and no history of the world.

Ok, that was all for today, tomorrow we will start creating a Game World, and will discuss another important points, to get a better approximation, of “How to create a Game World”

Cheers!
