How do you test game design concepts without writing everything from scratch?
|
Hey there,
I've got a 3D game that is kind of complex, to the point that i _will_ have to write my own technology due to a requirement, which is a custom world editor for users to create worlds to share with other users.

How do you complete ideas?

Hello everyone,
Would you rather have screenshots of a large project on the IOTD in a stage that shows some fancy stuff done, even though the game is not playable yet, or would you rather wait, perhaps a year or two, before one would post... |

You can't remove something from a list whilst iterating through it - when "it++" gets evaluated on the next loop, it won't exist!
Yes, but i'm assigning a new value to it when i Erase, so that shouldnt be a pr... |

How do you test game design concepts without writing everything from scratch?

Well, my situation is a bit different from that. For one thing, i've been doing game development-related projects for 8 years now, so this wasnt a random "hey i'm gonna make a RPG and it'll be cool and stuff" moment. Also, i didnt give up all th... |

Mainly because the world editor would be very game-specific. My goal is to write the basic functionality of the game with various ways to extend it, as it is a sandbox-based game, and provide a world editor where players can create and share their ow... |

Ways of implementing "research"

A very simple way would be for the player to earn combat points per kill regarding armor/weapon research and for more peaceful things, earn science points from purchases and talking with other NPCs or similar. |

1. No. You don't. A GDD is necessary in order to develop a game, not an instruction manual. A GDD is a description for the developers of how you want them to make the game.
Well, that's what i meant, i added the... |
