Legend of The Four Things

PDF Version

 

The Legend Begins...

 

‘Ah…’ Sighed the Old Master. ‘So you seek the one true way?’ 

‘To go where there is no way. To make your own path.’ The young disciple replied without blinking.

‘So you have seen through the illusion. After only a decade. You are wise indeed.’

‘Master my eyes were shut but now they are open. Tell me of the legend of game design.’

‘Ah. The Legend of the Four Things.’

‘Do you mean five rings?’

‘Silence foolish one! The last thing I need is trouble with the Olympics. I’m trying to run a mystic dojo of game design. Do you know what those overheads run to?’

‘Um, anyway about those four things.’

‘Ah...The Four Things. The Core, the Fun, the Crunch and the Fluff. They are four but must strive to be one. The one true way of game design. The Wao.’ 

‘But I thought the one true way was to find your own way-’

‘Quiet you - I’m explaining The Four Things…Visualise them as rings.’

‘You’re pushing it now.’
