3 Conseils pour la création de jeux Tout le monde connaît Sébastien Pauchon, éditeur suisse et auteur de jeux à succès. Il a participé sur le site Boardgamedesign et y a donné trois conseils pour la création de jeux. Ses conseils sont extrêmement intéressants et pertinents. Avec l’accord de Séb et de Clive, le webmaster, nous avons traduit cet article, pour ceux qui ne pratiqueraient pas la langue de George R.R. Martin 1) Soyez informés des jeux qui sortent, jouez, jouez, jouez. OK, il y un inconvénient à cela, il vous semblera difficile de prendre de la distance par rapport à ce que vous connaissez et d’innover. Plus vous pouvez apprécier un autre jeu pour son équilibre, son intelligence, son humour, son originalité, etc, et plus vous vous sentirez inspiré pour améliorer votre création. Ne tombez pas nécessairement dans la pensée de groupe qui ignore un mauvais jeu, jouez-y plutôt ! 2) Tests Ils sont cruciaux.

This widely distributed pattern was described by Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949).[1] Campbell, an enthusiast of novelist James Joyce, borrowed the term monomyth from Joyce's Finnegans Wake.[2] Campbell held that numerous myths from disparate times and regions share fundamental structures and stages, which he summarized in The Hero with a Thousand Faces: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.[3] A chart outlining the Hero's Journey. Summary[edit] In a monomyth, the hero begins in the ordinary world, and receives a call to enter an unknown world of strange powers and events. The 17 Stages of the Monomyth[edit]

Giant Sparrow What have we been doing for the past year? We’re still working on our new game which still hasn’t been announced yet. So it’s kinda hard to talk about. But for anyone who’s wondering if we’re still alive: yes, we are! Our team shrunk a bit after we wrapped up The Unfinished Swan but we’ve been growing steadily since then. Looking forward to showing off our new game at some point — thanks for being so patient! Unfinished Swan GDC talk is now available online A few weeks ago at the annual Game Developers Conference I gave a talk on what I learned making The Unfinished Swan. You can read a writeup of the talk or you can watch the talk itself for free (possibly for a limited time) on the GDC Vault.
