5 ELEMENTS OF A GREAT
ANTHONY BEYER
It all starts with the story.
Determine the plot and a
relatable, interesting
storyline for players. It
can be fun or something
used to teach a lesson.
COOL STORY
People are going to be
staring at your game for
hours at a time. Make it
something worth looking
at, and capable of catching
the eyes of others.
GREAT VISUALS
Gamers like to win, they
also like to feel that what
they're doing has a
purpose. Express that
purpose, the goal of the
game, upfront.
CLEAR OBJECTIVE
However, that doesn't mean
gamers want the process to be
easy. Make it challenging,
something to work toward.
That leads to real engagement.
WORTHY
CHALLENGE
After all is said, make sure
the end, the time, the work
is worth it. Reward the
player often and well.
That's what it's all about.
