Rational Game Design

Why? 

  • Help to think the game design with a more systematic approach and to clarify the mecanics

  • Useful to optimize a game mechanic and create variations (do more with less)

  • Important to balance the gameplay and the player's progression

  • Communicate more effectively

How it works? 

  • Identify the player's abilities and their input (mapping) for each mecanic 

  • Define the parameters that will influence the mecanics according to the abilities

  • Create variation table with minimum and maximum values

  • Decline in the variation matrix the different possible combinations and choose the final combinations
