Game Object Models

Game Object Models

The game object model is the abstraction of a game object. A game object can be everything that interacts or has to do with a game. However, it has to be the most general possible way in order to has some extensibility in the game engine. Commonly it is divided in two categories:
  • Object Centric
  • Property centric

Object Centric

Born by the OOP world. A game object is represented as an Object, and it has some attributes, some methods , and functions. Commonly the base class has collections that share the same interfaces, in order to execute update methods on the main game loop.

Property Centric

The most exiting paradigm yet. It does not represent a game object as an object, but as an identifier or as an ID. So each of its properties can merge together with that unique identifier. It can be understated like a relational data model, as a SQL database.

Analysis of dark patterns in League of Legends and Star Wars:Battlefront II with the usage of Loot Boxes

The following analysis was done originally as an assignment for the Introduction to Game Research course at University of Gothenburg, first section fall 2019. The Darkness of a game design and its consequences revealed: Analysis of dark patterns in League of Legends and Star Wars:Battlefront II with the usage of Loot Boxes In some video games there are practices that are ethically questionable, which makes them go against what the player expects from the games. These practices of going against the player are called Dark Patters   (Staffan Björk) . As they are ethically questionable, I think it is good to identify (reveal) some of these patterns in games, which are currently very much played, and also reveal their current consequences. In specific, my analysis is going to consist in how League of Legends   (RIOT games, 2009) and Star Wars: Battlefront II   (Electronic Arts, 2017) have some characteristis that could mean that they are ussing the Grinding , M...

Kerstin's Fate developer diary

Kertin's Fate developer diary Kertin's Fate Design: Kertin's Fate is a platform game directed and writed by Ivan Zamora, as part of Yao's Story games. The gameplay design for the game is based on the GNS model. Although GNS is based on role gaming, I decided to use the modes concept to direct design goals. The goal by ussing GNS is to "Focus on a gamism experience while narrating the game". Whit this goal, the game is not intended to advocate for simulationism, however things would change during testing. Moreover, for general gameplay I decided to stick with some common gameplay patterns. The game is designed by the following game play design patterns: Value of effort Luck Revoke Roles Character Levels Critical Failure Critical Success Items Gameplay Mastery  Time Limits On the other hand, to design character development I divided the experience according to the MDA framework, focusing mechanics as methods/actions. Mechanics: Jump/ double jump Sword attack Att...
