Game Prototyping - Slot Quest

Slot Machines + Role-Playing Games

Another reward system that can be used in games that we didn't mention in our previous post is slot machines. This type of system allows players to press their luck and spend coins in the hopes of lining up three of the same symbols. We wanted to see if, instead of just being a reward system, a slot machine could be used as the central mechanic in a game. This prototype combines a slot machine with a role-playing game in the form of "Slot Quest".

Slot Quest

A typical slot machine consists of a number of reels containing several different symbols. These reels are spun when the player pushes a button or pulls a lever and randomly stop on a symbol. If three of the same symbols appear on each reel in a row, the player is rewarded with coins. In Slot Quest, the symbols represent actions that the hero can perform in the game such as moving, attacking and gaining coins.


Each spin costs a coin and if all of the player's coins are depleted, it's game over. After a spin, the hero performs every action depicted by the symbols that the reels landed on. Special bonuses are awarded if two or more of the same symbol appear in a row from left to right. For example, if two movement symbols show up, the player gets an extra move in addition to the two from the reels. If three of the same symbols appear, an even greater bonus is awarded.


The reels also contain hazards which, when landed on, can cause the player to lose health or engage in a battle. If three hazards are shown, the player is sent into a boss battle with tough enemies. When in a battle, the symbols on the reels change to represent actions such as attacking, defending, using spells and gaining health. Successfully completing a battle rewards the player with coins.


As shown in the mock-up above, the game plays out on a board-game style board. Each square on the board may contain special interactions for the player such as chests or traps. The game ends when the player has run out of health, the player has no more coins or the player reaches the end of the game board.

Multiplayer Games using Google Sheets

Image
Google Sheets For Multiplayer Prototyping The most essential part of a multiplayer game is the ability for players to communicate with each other in some way. The simplest way to achieve this is for players to have shared access to a database that they both can read from and write to. When building multiplayer prototypes, it can be a hassle to setup a server and database and to then manage connections between players. What if there was a free database that existed somewhere and which players could perform operations on? Well, a database can simply be a table consisting of columns and rows; exactly the same as a spreadsheet. Google Sheets is a popular free online spreadsheet application which can be read from and written to via APIs. The idea here is to use Google Sheets as our backend database for our multiplayer game prototypes. In order to do this, we need to be able to read and write to the sheets via Javascript. To read from the sheet, we can use a library called She

Caribbean Games - Part 1: All Fours

Caribbean Games is a series that is focused on highlighting games indigenous to the islands of the Caribbean. GamePyong will explore various local and regional games and pastimes, derive inspiration from them and create games based on them. A Game of Trump For a Trinidadian game developer talking about games native to the Caribbean, we would be remiss if we didn't kick things off with the most popular card game in Trinidad and Tobago: All Fours! All Fours is a trick-taking card game which originated in England in the 17th century and has since spawned numerous other card games including Pitch and Pedro. In Trinidad, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't heard of the game. The rules of All Fours are fairly simple. It's a four-player card game consisting of two teams. The goal of the game is to get more points than the other team by winning tricks with the most valuable cards. Points are also awarded for holding the highest and lowest trump and for h

Caribbean Games is a  series  that is focused on highlighting games indigenous to the islands of the Caribbean.  GamePyong  will explore various local and regional games and pastimes, derive inspiration from them and create games based on them. Knuckle Down and Get Rolling Play the game we built for this blog post here: Play Pitch Playing with marbles is one of the oldest and most pervasive games in the world. Made of clay, stone, ceramic or glass, marbles are small spheres about half an inch in diameter; though some like the 'Big-Goonks' are a bit larger. Modern marbles usually contain a swirl of coloured glass inside. In Trinidad, the most coveted marbles were usually crystals (coloured glass with nothing inside), 'K-K' (opaque white marbles with coloured designs), 'Snake Eyes' (marbles that contained 2 or 3 dark swirls) and the aforementioned 'Big-Goonks' (larger and heavier than regular marbles). There are many different games that
