“Civilization” series designer Sid Meier (Sid Meier) recently accepted an interview with foreign media, pointing out that the game should focus on the fun itself, rather than making money. In addition, it is also believed that if the focus is on money-making channels such as microtransactions, there is a high risk of losing a lot of things.
recentlyInterview with the BBC, Sid Meier talked about his thoughts on microtransactions, loot boxes, and additional downloads. The main point is that he prefers to “seek fun” as the biggest consideration, saying that the real challenge is how to focus on the content of the game itself.
While a game might be fun and require cinematography or microtransactions to lead the game to success, it’s all for nothing if there’s no really fun gameplay at the core.
In recent years, many game developers have increasingly relied on various consumption channels to finance increasingly expensive games. However, Sid Meier believes that such designs are getting lost. He said that creating outstanding game content is actually relatively inexpensive and can be lucrative in the long run.
While the game design part is critical, it doesn’t require thousands of dollars like other parts. However, many development teams ignore the importance of game design itself.
Of course, this may be a strategy developed by game companies in response to the continuously expanding market, but Sid Meier does not guarantee that the game market will continue to grow. He pointed out that there are many ways players can use to pass the time, and the public is easily affected by changes in the online community.
In this regard, developers should ensure that the game maintains high quality and keeps players happy, after all, the market is full of all kinds of entertainment. All in all, companies shouldn’t see games as a mere money-making tool. Once developers forget this, and intend to focus on making money, seeing the work as a pure tool or an opportunity to achieve other goals, will deviate from the path to be taken.
