This perspective from non-aggressive small and weak creatures made me choose the road of “survival” games from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Primary Mind Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After I positioned the project as a “survival game”, I referred to some examples that came to mind when I thought of these games: Spore\/The Forest\/Grounded. These references made me automatically turn the goal and style of the game to the traditional open-world survival game, so I naturally considered adding common abilities such as construction\/collection, but I later found that these abilities were not suitable for the core experience of small and weak creatures, so I converged on the “base construction” game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Island Zoning Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After making the first change of direction, I began to try to start from the original habitat of the dumplings, so I got this island zoning map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this zoning map, I used to draw it into different ecological areas, so that players can go to different ecological environments and experience different survival modes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But in the testing, I found that the small and weak creatures will basically be in a circular action of hiding-foraging-resting-hiding<\/strong> in this original environment, which it do reflect the living environment of these small creatures, but for the players, this lifestyle is too lacking in exploring goals and variables, which is boring for playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I tried to change the environment that the Blobs in more variables, and it was not involved in their habits from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n
