How to build your game loops in Machinations

To develop a game, you must boil it down to its most essential parts and figure out where it falls short. That’s why it’s crucial to get your core loops right and to prototype them as soon as possible.

In this session we discuss and build the most popular gameplay loops that make the foundation of any game design. Our experts will go through different game loops and, using Machinations, will teach you how to model, visualize and test your core loops without the need to write a single line of code.

What you will learn:

✔️ What are core loops?
✔️ A quick review of popular core gameplay loops
✔️ How to design and prototype them in Machinations

Machinations

Machinations is a visual and interactive tool for evaluating the impact any game system, mechanic, or parameter has on your players’ experience. Entire games can be mapped and played through in Machinations, to easily spot any flaws, before writing a single line of code. Then, forecast game progression or free-to-play revenue with confidence, understand and maximize different player journeys. It's time to fuel your game design process with data, not guesswork!
