This week, we are going to be talking about game balance. Here are a few articles on it, including ones on combat:
- https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/understanding-balance-in-video-games
- https://boardgamedesigncourse.com/3-great-ways-to-balance-your-game/
- https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/balancing-your-video-game-with-3-important-questions
Here is the format for our weekly meetings:
1. Introductions: Introduce yourself and your current game design project(s) and/or ideas.
2. Discussion topic: We will discuss the topic chosen for the week.
3. Updates: In the spirit of collaboration and friendly accountability, we take turns sharing what we've been working on.
4. Lens of the week: We pick a random "lens" from Jesse Schell's The Art of Game Design: A book of Lenses and take turns answering the questions posed and how the lens applies to our designs or prototypes.
5. We will then open up the forum to anything that people want to talk about that's game related.
We hope to see you there!
