Lessons from game makers from Arkane Studios
Plot:
- If in the first part a male hero saved an ordinary girl, then in the next part call this man the father of that same girl and send him to save her again.
- If you want there to be two heroes, switch the roles of this man and girl.
- If you don’t know how to carry out a coup d’etat, then send the fake sister of the previous empress.
- If you don’t know how to make everyone believe in this very sister, then “This is the Empress’s sister! Down with the Empress’s own daughter!”
Gameplay:
- If you want a new game to be as successful as the previous one, then take all the best from the first one.
- If you want there to be more possibilities, then add a couple more bells and whistles to all the best things from the first game.
- If you want the scale of the game to become larger, then increase it by expanding the locations.
- If you want the game not to seem too similar to the previous one, then add a second playable character with completely different skills.
- If you want the game not to seem monotonous, then add different paths to pass without giving in to the traditions of the previous game.
- If you want more side quests, then do more side quests!
Sound:
- If you don’t want the character to be Gordon Freeman, then voice him!
- If you don’t want to worry about new sounds and melodies, then take them from the previous game.
- If you don’t want the characters to speak in dull Russian dubbing, then look for a guide to the original voice acting! (in general, it’s better not to allow duplicates of your games)
Optimization:
- If you want the game to be optimized, then make it optimized!
- If you don’t want to release hundreds of patches, then make the game stable at the time of its release.
Game 9 out of 10. Only because of system requirements. Why is there 6Gb of video memory?!
P.S. All of the above are the advantages of the game, with the exception of the plot (my personal dissatisfaction is there, and the plot, although banal, is quite good) and, of course, optimization.
