Anyone have a tip for slide bar in each genre?

I still not clear about each bar. anyone have any suggestion?

Engine - i’m sure work great about action but the other?
Gameplay - cant decide what’s for?
story/quest - RPG for sure but about adventure?
Dialogues - RPG for sure but the other?
Level design - i don’t have any idea?
AI - for action i think?
world design - i don’t have any idea?
graphic - for action?
sound - i don’t have any idea?

thank in advance :slight_smile:

Each slider is a measure of how much effort you put into that area during game development.

For example, most RPG games can afford to neglect AI (drag it down to the bottom), since a lot of the games are heavily scripted. The flip side is that you should concentrate on Dialogue and Story because of the scripting.

I’ve tried to compile a list of known winners with some tips for maximizing your scores.

Thanks for explanation. Your list is helpful and now I have no longer problem with RPG type but I still not clear with Other type which area I should focus on Action or Simulation etc. I still try to figure it out.

This is what I’ve found from game reviewer feedback as well as experiments:

Sports: Engine, some AI
Action: Engine, some AI. Level design very important

RPG/Adventure: Story, Dialogue. Neglect AI.

Sim: Engine. Level design.
Casual: Gameplay? Maybe graphics.

I think the sliders only matter for the type of game ie Action, Strategy, etc.

The topic awards a bonus or penalty depending. There may also be console affinity?

Maybe it’s my imagination. When I make my early Civ/Mom/MOO clones I market them to PC, whereas actiony games go on C64 or consoles. Gameboy gets the Young rating.
