Publication . Almeida, Yuri Aristides da Silva Godinho de; Fermé, Eduardo Leopoldo; Badia, Sergi Bermúdez i
In recent years, the development of video games has become more and more affordable, with several game engines being released for free, which allowed small independent teams to produce quality games. In this project, we detail the development process of a digital game which is an adaptation of a previously existing board game. This project focuses on the development and technological implementation as well as the game mechanics, two of the four elements of the game design tetrad, which encapsulates every aspect existing in a video game. The existing board game is a turn based strategy game, with 6 heroes, 48 unique abilities and 55 element powers. Here we will explain how we designed the architecture of this project, which technologies we used and developed to allow us to achieve this adaptation, and how we structured the multiplayer architecture to allow networked play. This work provides a deep insight for anyone that wishes to understand the game industry and learn the process of creating a video game.
