It didn’t yet hold the connections it would later represent in my mind, but it was the start. Not to mention the complex math behind all game programming! Skillful designers can dive into math when it’s needed to get the rules and mechanics in order to improve the game.A perfectly seared steak glistened on the plate in front of me. There’s probability, risk analysis, rewards, point systems, and force management. There’s no running from it, games are full of math. When there’s a terrible manager, they can work on their own keeping a low profile and reach the expected result from everyone by the end of the project. No, you are not responsible for managing all the team, or shouldn't be, but good designers know a little about management. To produce a good game, well-shaped in every area, a team is needed, and a lot of knowledge on management is required prior to organizing a group of people for a common objective.
Your game has nothing to do with history? It’s a fantasy new world? Believe it, plunging into history will give you an invigorating new inspiration to develop your alternative reality. The best example I can give in this point is mythology, especially Greek and Nordic. The innovation character is pretty much disputed nowadays, and knowing your technology’s advantages and disadvantages shall give you better control over it, expanding the possibilities of creating something never seen before. I’m referring to the ability to understand the technology which is used in your games. Further than the factor that comes from old games, the price variation, many kinds of materials with different values can be used on trades, but also to be components on the building of places or specific units.
There is a whole reward system to keep the player tied to the game, like not being too powerful or too weak to the challenges, and also to feel valuable inside the game. Games today are much more complex about this factor than ever. So, to have better chances to produce your dream game, you’ll need to negotiate with producers, publishers, freelancers, investors, supporters, amongst others.
Like it or not, Gamedesigner is a market job, and the market works based on many kinds of transactions, and all of them are linked to money somewhere.
