What can we do to make them invent even more questions?īasically, the more questions we are able to make them ask, which means the more interest they show in our game, the more they will get immersed in it to find the ultimate answer.What can we do to make them care about those questions?.What questions does our game put into the player’s mind?.
Get players to be curious about your game - in whatever part of it! What I have learnt from the book The Art of Game Design is that we as game developers should first be curious enough about game design in order to ask ourselves these questions: Once we get sufficiently curious about something, we will go out of our way to seek answers.Īnd so, as game developers, what we should do is simple and straightforward. Here lies the beauty of games where most changes happen internally. Don’t know if you can outrun those monsters? Time it and start running, try again if you fail the first time.īecause we ask these questions all the time when we play, and then go on and find out the results ourselves shows that we are eager to get to the bottom of everything involved. Don’t know if this will open up if you step on it? Step on it and see for yourself. Don’t know what happens if you shoot this? Shoot it and you’ll find out. But obviously, the next immediate action is always to do what he/she just asks about. There are so many questions that one may ask when playing a game, the questions above are just some examples. Hold on a minute, what do these questions have to do with any lens in game design? And I would say, read on and you’ll see why asking a bunch of questions as a game developer can help you build the right elements in your game.
