Game Design Report: “Save the princess”

 

Game Design Report:  “Save the princess”



Step1:

Two game players have nothing.

If one player builds a castle first and then own a sword, then win.

 

Step2：

Principle theme: plunder resource

Concept: Build a castle as a wedding house for the princess, which also is the necessary place for building weapon, then save the princess with a sword to cut the rope.

Blue area: Ocean. Players can obtain fish resources here.

Brown area: Woodland. This zone yields wood resources.

Green area: Pasture. Players can gather wool resources in this area.

Yellow area: Desert. This is where players can collect sandsworm

Red area: Berry Forest. Players can obtain berries here.

Gray area: Mountains. This region provides stone resources.

 

Acquisition:

Castle = green (stands for sheep) + red (stands for cherry) + grey (stands for rock) +yellow (stands for sandworm) + brown (stands for wood)

Sword = grey (stands for rock) +yellow (stands for sandworm)

2 coins can change a weapon

A weapon = eliminate an opponent's grid

 

Step3:

Each players roll the dice in sequence,

If roll the dice 1 / 2 / 3: acquire one grid picked by player

If roll the dice 4: turn to another player

If roll the dice 5: get one coin

If roll the dice 6: get one weapon

 

Step4:

Players through plunder resources like coins and weapon to eliminate opponent’s grid.

 

Step5:

Resource management is not balanced and complexity, occurs the economic systems in the game. We test and play it as the real table games and find out the problems.

Step6:

Since the rule is simple now, the game now is suitable for audience like primary school children, teens, and young adult.

If fix the bugs of rules or mechanism we found out while play the games, the re-version type will make the rule more complete and settle more obstacles for the players, such as add some grids for bonus rewards, or some grids for traps. Thus, the audience can expend a large range, like the whole age of audiences.

Microlite20 playing experience

Microlite20 centers around three primary attributes: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), and Mind (MIND). The game simplifies character classes, skills, and magic use based on these attributes. For instance, skill checks are straightforwardly determined by adding the appropriate attribute modifier and any relevant skill bonuses to the roll of a 20-sided die to ascertain success.
