While your developing your game, you must make sure that your game is balanced. When I mean balanced, I mean checking if there are any problems in the game. This means that you have to test repeatedly day after day, which leads to a huge pain for game designers to handle. It may be annoying or frustrating to do but, is highly worth doing in order for your game to become fully functional so that everyone can play without encountering any problems. There are four simple basic steps that can help you balance your game. Foundation will make you understand what your game core mechanic is going to be and seeing if players think the game is fun. Having structure tells you the basic things to have in a game by setting out rules and procedures for the game to be able to be played. Formal details mainly consists of whether the game is functional, internally complete, or balanced.The most important step you need to know is formal details because it shows how a game has to deal with balance. This focuses on variables, dynamics, starting condition, and skill. Variables tell about how many players, resources, and properties are in the game. Dynamics tells about what your game action is set on. Starting positions make sure the game is functional and fair to all players to have an equal opportunity to win. Skill explains how your matching user playing skill from your game. Fully understanding those areas will help you make your game better and well better known to become playable to everyone who seeks your game. If you may think this still seems to be too much in your head, the game I'll explain to you to further your understanding is "Mario Kart Wii."
This game is a racing game for Nintendo Wii, where you can play as one of the many Mario characters. While it has some recognizable features from the past Mario Kart series, there are some new features such as bikes, which are faster than karts. You can also do tricks when you land on ramps with give you a big boost. If your used to using old Nintendo controllers, your still able to use either the game cube or the classic controller so you don't have to struggle with the Wii controller. There are over 32 race tracks courses including reoccurring ones too plus, ten battle stages. Another new thing they added is WiFi battle where you can race against people all around the world using the Nintendo WiFi connection. The game may also include Wii wheel controller, where you put your Wii remote inside the Wii wheel controller and it acts like your driving a car. In addition, this game also has its own channel where you can do ghost races and sometimes have a chance to fight bosses. Seeing how this game is balanced, we first need to see if the variables are balanced. This game is based for 1-4 players who encounter these "?" blocks that randomly contain many different items you can use along your race, like the koopa shell, bullet bill, and etc. These items will help you along the way, whether your trying to reach 1st place or go beyond your opponents. Balancing of the dynamics has this game set to players who are interested in racing vehicles with a high influence to fantasy characters. It's also meant for families or hanging out with your friends. The starting point of this game is where you began playing and your greeted behind the finish line and a laktiu tells you when your ready to start by setting to 3,2,1. The objective of the race is simple, just reach the finish line after three laps by trying your best to reach 1st place. All have an opportunity to win where they can hitting "?" blocks that contain items to gain more advantage over everyone else. What makes the skill point balanced in this game is, the progressing difficulty where there are these different ranks that are 50cc, easy mode with only karts used, 100cc, median mode with only bikes used, 150cc, hard mode where you can use both vehicles, and a new addition mode, mirror mode which is just like 150cc, but 2 times harder. It is recommended to players to start 50cc to end, because this allows the players to progressively get better in the game.
