Game Design for Simulation or Resource Management Games

Multibit Solutions Inc. seeks aspiring game designers to develop a compelling game economy within our simulation platform. The project involves defining resources and workflows that are then added to a game world to challenge players with strategic resource allocation decisions. The focus is on creating a balanced and engaging resource-driven gameplay experience without the need for twitch or control-based mechanics. The game's user interface is data-driven from the designed game resources and economy, and available to playtest the design in real time. Participants will apply their classroom knowledge of game design principles to develop a game economy where players must strategically manage resources to achieve specific objectives. The project aims to enhance players' engagement by introducing complex decision-making scenarios that test their strategic thinking and planning skills. Key tasks include defining the game resources that exist within the game and the workflows that transform game state using those resources. Next, participants will define a game world with resources added to game characters and world locations. Then participants define the UI, laying out the HUD for players to interact with the game. As participants design their game, they can also play-test what they've come up with and make changes to their design in real time. Possible game styles: Simulation - e.g. lemonade stand Resource management - e.g. HayDay interactive stories - like single-player dungeon and dragon campaigns, though battle may or may not be supported at the time of this project Game elements supported: Characters - recruit NPCs, option for player to choose their character Gear - required for certain actions, may confer bonuses Skill tree - user chooses their path Attributes (XP, skills, health, stamina) Proficiencies - like skills, but developed by player behavior, not choices Currencies, materials, tokens Factories convert inputs to outputs Harvestable items (e.g., trees for wood, audience for customers) Recipes - for crafting Quests - guide players through the game Collectibles, achievements Lore - much customization available for rich storytelling
