Mech Games

Mech Games use this mechanic where players react to emergent situations to maximize their effectiveness. The mechanic integrates seamlessly with other systems, resulting in emergent storytelling.

Hunting Games

Hunting Games use this mechanic where players explore the environment to outperform other players. Multiple valid strategies exist for different playstyles, resulting in satisfying progression.

Idle / Clicker Games

Idle / Clicker Games use this mechanic where players time their actions precisely to establish dominance in PvP. The system encourages experimentation, resulting in creative expression.

Survival Horror Games

Survival Horror Games use this mechanic where players react to emergent situations to reach the highest tier. The system rewards both skill and knowledge, resulting in skill differentiation.

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Encourages creative playstyles and experimentation
  • Provides clear haptic feedback on player actions
  • Supports numerous viable strategies and approaches

Disadvantages

  • Increases CPU requirements significantly
  • Requires significant balance data to implement well
  • Can create balance issues if not carefully balanced

Implementation Patterns

Aggro System

Optimized pattern for randomized trick weapon system with feedback that minimizes per-frame computation cost.

class RandomizedTrickWeaponSystemWithFeedbackController {
  health: number = 50;
  multiplier: number = 0.8;

  apply(target: Entity) {
    const modifier = this.calculateEffect();
    target.health -= modifier * 2.0;
    if (target.health <= 0) {
      target.triggerReset();
    }
  }

  calculateEffect() {
    return this.multiplier * (1 + this.modifier / 100);
  }
}
