All language subtitles for 5-The Core Game Loop

According to Rising High Academy

Core game Loop is

Essentially the very heartbeat of your game

It is a series or

Chain of actions

That is repeated over and over

It's a primary flow your players expiry

The most basic of core game Loops goes something like this

You enter a new world

You defeat enemies

With a credibility say

Then you get a reward

This obviously is one of the oldest game Loops in the book but it also tried-and-true

It's the foundation for my game Never song

Also Metroid

The Legend of Zelda in hundreds of other titles

4 games like

TSA tekashi's with Tom

Decor gameloop is simulate more complex

Often shrouded in mystery

Confusion and Abstract dialogue

But it still stands on the following generic core game

It's pretty simple you complete a task

You gain a new playable character

Can you do a heart attack

With that character

One of the most meaningful conversation that had regarding the importance of this

Was actually with David Perry

The owner of shiny entertainment

The creator of Earthworm Jim

David was kind enough to take me to lunch while I was on a trip to Los Angeles for a pinstripe press tour

He graciously gave his time to me to let me pitch a game idea to him to see if he was interested in investing

Was called poison tail and it was a

Quirky hack-and-slash game

About Adam and Eve

I nervously sifted through a pitch deck I had spent weeks preparing

Sitting in a beautiful dining room overlooking the Pacific Ocean

The entire pitch

Was essentially about the story

Nothing more

Add a few gameplay mechanics

But no significant

Core game Loop

After about 10 minutes

Pitching the story

David smiled at me

Take me for sharing the game with them

But ultimately turned me down to

What makes the game

Sticky

Yeah

I didn't really know what sticking meant

I just began mumbling about the story

What about the game mechanics

Make the project unique

Can you tell me your core game Loop

In a single sentence

Be kind lyrics

It's a Zelda like

Game about

Adam and Eve

I said

I think I began laughing at this point because

It suddenly clicked

The core game Loop

Was not sticky

The core gameloop actually didn't exist

The game needs to feature a loop

That is sticky

Meaning people not only get it right away

But it sticks with them

After they hear about it

In a single sentence

You really got me thinking

He was suddenly so on

To stick out in the giant ocean of Steam games

And ultimately be profitable

You must have a sticky cord game

Sticky cord gameloop will achieve all three of the following

It's familiar

If unique

Memorable

If you combine these three traits

You got yourself a sticky core game live

Here are some examples of core game Loop

That fit these criteria

Portal is easily familiar

As a first-person shooter

It's Unique in that will that uses portals

It's memorable in that the portal mechanic looks so breathtakingly bizarre

Holiday is

Particularly familiar

As reminds players of the maze-like world of Metroid in Castlevania

However it's still stands uniquely on its own

Another world is insanely huge

Too cute in my opinion

Obviously it's art style is memorable but

Art isn't really relevant in our discussion about

Corgi

What makes it mechanically memorable is just how buttery-smooth the mechanics are

Which is actually specifically called out and it's trailer

A great example of a sticky in drts and that's a real time strategy game

Is satellite rain

It is familiar and that it almost

Immediately reflects the

Classic cyberpunk

Isometric syndicate

Awards for 1996

And all of the top-down strategy games that followed suit

However it's Unique

Another player can choose to

Spore cybernetic agents each with unique rolls

Finally it's memorable

And that it heavily focuses on stealth mechanics

In addition to its familiar strategy ask

Breath of the wild is the crown jewel

90 sticky core kamloop examples

Familiar for a variety of reasons

But mainly in

Open world concept

Which has become increasingly popular

It is unique in its

Emptiness

This is a brave approach to the core game live

Imagine pitching

Emptiness

As part of your core gameloop to shareholders at Nintendo

The breath of the wild team stood firmly though

Constantly

I'm a simple concept of trusting the players patience

Quiet world

With very little to do but just

Run around and listen to music work

But not without some unique rewards offered

In finally breath of the wild is memorable

Simple because it allows the player to really explore

Unlike a lot of games

Claim

Open world games

Distinguishing sensation of discovery

Is the primary reward for almost every action

In breath of the Wild

Even the act of purposely dying

According to the director breath of the Wild fujibayashi

She's actually kind of a fun to be had from falling

And dying

You learned to be careful and be cautious

We felt that gave a lot of players the emotional preparedness

To take on the rest of the world

Ultimately decided

We should let them die
