Copy of Souls-like Balancing

About this model

The diagram models the progression system of a video game where players earn experience points (XP) by defeating enemies and bosses to level up and advance to new areas. Players start with an initial level and gain XP by defeating regular enemies and bosses, each providing a different amount of XP. The XP per enemy and boss scales with the player's advancement through different areas, increasing the challenge and the rewards. Additionally, there's a mechanic for players to level up, which likely requires a certain amount of XP, affecting the player's level and potentially other aspects such as the level cost.

Furthermore, the system simulates player death and its consequences, including the possibility of losing XP upon dying. It also tracks the total playtime and includes mechanisms to determine when a player is fighting a boss, potentially based on the time to finish an area and specific conditions such as the player's level relative to the area's difficulty. A unique aspect of this game model is the dynamic calculation of the chance of dying, which factors in the player's level, the current area, and whether a boss fight is occurring. The progression through areas and the impact of bosses on the player's journey are critical elements, emphasizing strategic decision-making and skill progression. Additionally, there's a focus on monitoring playtime, suggesting an interest in how long players engage with the game, with a specific mechanism converting playtime into hours for further analysis or display.
