"Game Feel" exposes "feel" as a hidden language in game design that
no one has fully articulated yet. The language could be compared to
the building blocks of music (time signatures, chord progressions,
verse) - no matter the instruments, style or time period - these
building blocks come into play. Feel and sensation are similar
building blocks where game design is concerned. They create the
meta-sensation of involvement with a game. The understanding of how
game designers create feel, and affect feel are only partially
understood by most in the field and tends to be overlooked as a
method or course of study, yet a game's feel is central to a game's
success. This book brings the subject of feel to light by
consolidating existing theories into a cohesive book. The book
covers topics like the role of sound, ancillary indicators, the
importance of metaphor, how people perceive things, and a brief
history of feel in games.The associated web site contains a playset
with ready-made tools to design feel in games, six key components
to creating virtual sensation. There's a play palette too, so the
desiger can first experience the importance of that component by
altering variables and feeling the results. The playset allows the
reader to experience each of the sensations described in the book,
and then allows them to apply them to their own projects. Creating
game feel without having to program, essentially. The final version
of the playset will have enough flexibility that the reader will be
able to use it as a companion to the exercises in the book, working
through each one to create the feel described.
