Game Design

The Player Pie

A few years ago, I wrote an article for Gamasutra.com (”The Theory of Game Relativity“) about classifying potential players of a game and then using that to help assess how much your game will appeal to them.  It’s more or less a mental exercise, but can help remind you to include some features that will reach a wider audience, or at least your intended audience.

The original article featured a few HIDEOUS illustrations that I made, thinking at the time that the vast Art Department at Gamasutra would certainly pretty them up.  Imagine my horror when the illos appeared in the article. :)

Recently, a very talented artist named Jeff Simpson redrew the player pie, so I thought I’d share.  Read the article if you’re interested in what ’tis all about!
