picaboum: how to diversify core gameplay in casual games?
DESCRIPTION
In this presentation, Benjamin will explain what was the process and main ideas to diversify core gameplay in a collectible cards game, in a match 3 game and do a little live brainstorm about tower defense gameplay. The goal of the presentation is to promote the fact that it is always possible to bring a little “plus” to already established game mechanics. Sometimes a little idea, some funny easter eggs can make the difference to double the fun and enhance the gaming experience.TRANSCRIPT

How to diversify Core Gameplays ?
- It is more and more difficult to find new or revolutionary gameplays
- You must have the good idea, at the right moment and … a bit of luck !
BUT…
- It is often possible to enhance or refresh a classical game mechanic
- You need a little idea, a little “plus” that will renew players’ interest
- Easter eggs/hidden game features can have a social/viral dimension
