There is a new episode of my Uncooked Sport Design podcast up for my ($10+) patrons, right here. This podcast sequence is a part of my thanks to all those that help my varied initiatives on Patreon. That very same podcast hyperlink additionally has hyperlinks to all the opposite episodes of Uncooked Sport Design too, btw.
On this episode, I talk about a complicated sort of preventing recreation AI for the upcoming Fantasy Strike preventing recreation (playable builds for that out there for greater tier patrons, btw). The twist about this AI dialogue is that the difficulty right here is de facto all about the way in which we current it, and that is closely tied to the in-game menus. Which modes even exist? How are they organized? This menu stuff is extremely onerous within the first place and the prospect of fantastic AI calls into query a bunch of issues we’d have taken with no consideration earlier than.
That is “uncooked recreation design” within the truest sense in that we’re misplaced within the forest right here. Since recording this I’ve a minimum of barely extra concept what to do and I believe we had been barely beginning to head in the precise course by the tip.
I additionally do a separate podcast sequence, Sirlin on Sport Design, which is free for everybody and customarily extra polished. The Uncooked Sport Design sequence is deliberately unpolished and provides a glimpse at what it is actually wish to work on design issues.
Thanks once more to my patrons in your help!
