Pixel Gun 3D and it's community: Now vs Then PG3D is 11 years old. It has an interesting history. The concept of Fps+Minecraft was unheard of, back when Alex Krasnov developed the game. The game was peaking at 100M players! But after it's acquisition from Rilisoft to Cubic Games, it had a downfall. The developers were greedy, and the less popular PG3D got, the more greedy they were. Lots of people left the game. But then it was acquired by GDev (formerly Nexters). They made a lot of changes, some of them could be called controversial, but PG3D was becoming better. A few months later, it seemed like it wasn't gonna get better any time soon. But now, GDev is listening to PG3D's players. All the lobbies are full of players. There is a ton of stuff to do. The cartoony concept and design of the game can be leaning towards funnier gameplay. Screaming when people have an awesome weapon, addressing them by their cool weapon's name, and screaming and trying to have your revenge on someone. PG3D currently has 170-200M downloads. Pixel Gun 3D is rising ! Source: Wix AI generated and edited There is a lot to talk about, so let's dive deeeep into it! Competitiveness and Multiplayer History of Multiplayer Pg3d has 1000+ guns . The developers add a ton of guns, resulting in an all always changing meta. There is always new stuff to talk about. Now, almost no gameplay changes have been updated to every match. Unless you count weapon effects (like ricochet or blindness) or private matches (that you need the password of). Maximum of 10 players (except for battle royale). Full Source: Gameplay The weapon effects are rather exciting. Some are simply annoying, some are infuriating, some are actually effective and sometimes broken. Getting ricochet hits do bonus damage. Status effects can be fatal, even in the fast-paced nature of the game. They only do damage to your health, not caring about your armor. Poisoning does 6% damage to the health. Burning does 8% damage to health. Bleeding does 10% damage to health. When you shoot an enemy player, you have to shoot through their armor ( how fast you can do it depends on how good the enemy's armor is). Pets follow you and do damage and inflict status effects on your enemies. But they become more insignificant the higher leveled you get, become level advantages will become less of a thing. My Thoughts #1 I've always been annoyed by PG3D's sheer amount of OP weapons. And the less big changes there are. However, it's always fun to do stuff like using advanced tactics (see:cowardly) and treat a 5 minute match like a full on war battle. ExxotikGaming and Pixel Ecko are great youtubers, though it's sad Exxotik only upload content of other mobile games. Campaign and Story History of Campaign and Story The campaign is a nostalgic mess. It was dubbed "the lore behind of Pixel Gun World" It consists 5 worlds. Pixelated worlds in a rural/urban setting (9 levels), Block worlds in a bunch of different entirely blocky settings (6), Cross worlds in a more supernatural style and similar setting to block worlds (5), Virtual worlds in a futuristic setting (6). World 5 has been "coming soon" for at least 2 years. The campaign has a repeatedly alternating story for PG3D. In pixelated worlds, it seems to be an apocalypse. Then at the start of block worlds, a powerful dragon is blamed for the invasion. Then when you bring down the dragon, he says an evil bug is responsible for making everything cubic, and that's bad. Cube-ism! Cross worlds supports this. Virtual worlds says it's bad that a powerful thing called Cubic is forcing everyone to play his games (see:Multiplayer and minigames). A revolution, and a trapped-in-a-video-game scenario. It still has a nice reputation, but all hope for world 5 might be lost. RunningBack2 used to have a great "Mythbusters" series that sees a lot of easter eggs and references. Mechanics+Unique Aspects You progress to another world by getting 3 stars on all previous levels.What's surprising is that, after each level, a cutscene takes place with 4, sometimes 8, comic panels with a cartoonish art style and blocky characters, set in a way they are being thrown onto a table. Each level has 1 gem and 1 coin hidden. Useless if you're not a completionist. After clearing out all the enemies (varying, from 10-30 in pixelated worlds to 45-50 in virtual worlds), you have to face the boss. Some are a joke, some are just scary, some are a nightmare of both. In 8/9 levels in pixelated worlds, you get a extremely weak and outdated gun exclusive to campaign mode. 3 difficulties: Easy (best shot at beating the campaign), Medium (the way it should be), and Hard (bonkers impossible and a horror movie, I'm done). Virtual worlds makes you use 3-6 weapons as you progress. They are pretty much coded (e.g Antivirus, Disconnector), and have only every been available in the Gallery or Trader's van My Thoughts #2 Everytime I even sense a mention of the lore in PG3D, I get goosebumps and a wave of nostalgia. The extraction gamemode for PG3D's tenth birthday was the best fun I ever had. But dude, virtual worlds was harder than the other 3 combined, x100000. Getting 3 stars was tedious and near-impossible. Watching Pixel Ecko 's and Exxotikgaming's playthroughs were great memories. I think world 5 could be called "Paradox Worlds". There is an easter egg in the map "Temple of Elements". RunningBack2 had a video on this. The Hidden Potential....... Neglected Aspects Campaign Battle Royale Raids Clans Minigames+Escort+Co-op Survival (who even remembers, and some how cares?) Solution As you see, PG3D has multiple ways to return it to it's former glory. It simply must be what it was 9-11 years ago, but more. Keep the concept. Keep the outline and basic distinguishing aspects. But expand it. Make it as cool as blocky can be (hope that doesn't sound victorian, yarr), as well as appealing. Genuine fun. Remember to keep their promises. Ideas Cut the weapon count to 400-500 so each weapon has more. Give the weapons simple abilities, like the abilities of various Pokémon. Modules are less expensive and enhance these abilities. Armory is much bigger, and has more weapons. Campaign continued, with much better rewards. Clans have an inclusive system with interesting rewards. In Battle royale, add chest and weapons rotation. Have at least 30 more available weapons. Revamp Raids and add more lore behind them. Also 2 maps is not much, and energy module is without a map for Raids. Remove all the copied minigames and maps More maps in Flag capture, Point capture, and duels. Who even remembers escort? More weapons of Common,Rare, and Epic rarity, less of legendary and mythical. Amount of weapons in each rarity sorted in how high each rarity is. Legendary and Mythical weapons have hidden capabilities. Or just remove the rarity system. Economy is actually easier. Offers are too expensive. Quality-life-changes like skip animation button or confirm purchase button. Options like remove particle effects and sound slider. Proper anti-cheat. Fair matchmaking. Modules aren't so overpowered, and are just technical. Note: Pixel Ecko has a few videos that I took inspiration from. Notes Yes, I plan to make this a series. It's gonna be something for the smaller fandoms especially. I'll update you on the upcoming section. Upload order:Design, Games, Guides, Hardware. Although my brother might have different ideas. Hardware will be all research, all annoying. And I know that I uploaded to guides before games. Well, bye and have a fun time with your games as well as development! *I can change the order in the "Upcoming" section*

Why should you design or play a video games' campaign? A campaign is different from other gamemodes because they focus on story and characters. Its different from other gamemodes if you are a player who prefers more story-focused gamemodes. Video game have the most potential of any entertainment media in story because they are digitally interactive. When the campaign comes out, the player wants to try it. Tip:Know and understand your audience Tip: Balance the elements to make sure the game is fun Inspirations: Stick War:Saga SWS Pixel Gun 3D PG3D Pokemon Pokemon The Legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild Zelda: BOTW Stick War 2 SW2 Terraria TR Clash Royale CR Aspects of a video games' story mode 1.Gameplay Gameplay tops all other aspects of a video game. The gameplay for a video game campaign needs to be innovative and accurate to the audience. Without good gameplay, the player will not enjoy playing the campaign if the gameplay is not fun and interesting. Gimmicky gameplay gets the player excited, interested, and addicted. 2. Cutscenes You don't need them because they're expensive and time-consuming, but they are great if you have the resources. Make sure they can actually work, and get positive feedback. Cutscenes carry the entire story. They are fueled by sound, characters, story, and dialogue. Make sure to balance the amount of cutscenes and don't make playing the campaign feel like a chore. Cutscene can take the form of comics, videos, and even in-game cinematic. Some are more expensive and time consuming than others. Source 3. Sound and music Sound is everything a player hears in the game so it is obviously important. Music fits the vibe and makes sure the player knows what to feel. Everything can feel so powerful with sound and music. Sound sets the emotion and expects a reaction from the player. 4. Characters Characters are important because they are whom the story is centered around. You need good characters for a good story. Players will like to see characters if they are enjoyable. Characters are who say the dialogue. The characters fuel the entire story. You could have a character for every purpose, like being complex, funny, and greedy. Source 5. Story The story aspect is what most sets the campaign apart from other gamemodes. It is what drives players to play the campaign. Pick a fitting way of storytelling for video games, which are interactive. Focus on both story and gameplay, both of which are top elements of a video games' campaign. Make sure they both fit together and combine them to make the perfect campaign. 6. Progression Progression is important because it keeps things new and give players a reason to play more. Sometimes the campaign has separate progression from other gamemodes, sometimes not. Progression is important and is an interesting aspect. Some games have no progression, which is more unique and keeps things easier for players, new or not, but that is not always a likable trait for a video game. However, the progression must not be grindy and boring and tiring . Source 7. Difficulty A game should be easy to learn, hard to master. That makes a game fun. Difficulty must be balanced and maybe separated into separate difficulties, like easy, normal, medium, hard, insane/extreme. No player would play a game for long if it isn't challenging. See, the game needs to be challenging in a fun way. Like I said, easy to learn, hard to master, is what your game should be. Source 8. Strategy A player should be required to be more strategic, improvise, try new things, and learn from past attempts. Maybe even micromanage for more challenging difficulties. But the game should still be fun and enjoyable, especially for players who want a challenge. However, make sure the game isn't too hard and remember that strategy isn't for everyone. Source 9. Variety Players should have a lot of features to choose from. No player should be the same. The variety should be engaging for new players but not overwhelming. A player can have fun experimenting with different features. A player should be saying "Oh, wow!",instead of "Uh, let me search up a guide for new players". Source 10. Dialogue While not needed , dialogue adds much to the story very clearly . Execute the lines well with good delivery of the lines from the characters. Make sure the player doesn't have to read too much, because that will make the game boring. Players don't want to feel like they are in school(who does?). Source 11. Reward Good rewards satisfy the players and give them a reason to keep playing. Always give sufficient rewards. Make sure to keep the reward balanced . Challenge=Reward. The reward needs to be in accordance with the challenge. Players will get annoyed if they receive Lame and repetitive rewards for things that are a task of their own. Players should be excited and desirous, not irritated and mad. Source:Wix AI generated 12. Graphics Graphics are everything the player sees in the game, good quality graphics are important. Good graphics(like character design and worlds/maps) makes for a good experience. Pick a fitting and likable art style, for both players and developers. Pay close attention to the graphics, fore they have a special role. When players first start the game, the graphics are what welcome them. They need to be dazzled, not overwhelmed. Source 13. Maps/worlds Maps/worlds need to hold the players' interest and get them excited. "Maps" is a term more commonly used for 2D games, but also for 3D games. "Worlds" is a term used for more pronounced open-world 3D games. A map(like the picture below) needs to be interesting, mysterious. They should something to them the player likes, and is attracted by. The maps are heavily affected by art styles, while the worlds are not. Source Creativity and uniqueness How is your campaign different? Your campaign, your entire game, must be unique to be popular. You don't want a large part of your playerbase comparing your campaign to other video games' campaign and complaining about your campaigns' inferiority. Make it gimmicky, interesting. The gameplay and story must mix well and combine. Doing that results in a near-perfect campaign. Make sure to balance many elements and mix all of them. A player will be itching to play the campaign. Listen to your players and reflect on their feedback. Conclusion See "tips" above. A campaign is easily the most story-based gamemode you can get. Value and pay attention to all these aspects. Remember the points and knowledge shared in this blog, it will benefit you! There are 13 elements of a video game's campaign. I hope this guide helped. Bye and have fun!

How is advertising important for a game developer? Marketing is essential for every business and product, as it significantly impacts their success. For a game, effective marketing is crucial; without it, sales may fall short of their maximum potential. To ensure robust promotion, there are 13 distinct strategies you can use to advertise your game. Each method offers a unique approach to enhancing visibility and boosting sales. References Minecraft The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Stick War: Saga Methods to advertising your video game Word of Mouth Word of mouth is the most important form of advertising. If your game is good, people will talk about it and spread the word. Like "Did you hear about that cool new Zelda game? Phenomenal!" Whether its the players or other developers, its is extremely effective and versatile. Word of mouth is how the best games became so successful. Adverts on Social media and Games Adverts prioritize quick interruption and fast-pace advertising. There are many types of adverts, like banner ads, video ads, and integrated ads. You must show as much positive information as quickly as possible, at least 5 seconds for video ads. Interest the viewer quickly, so that they follow for a few more seconds. Show lots of information and keep viewer's interest. Sponsor Gaming Influencers Sponsoring influencers is an easy way of trust building. You don't necessarily need to sponsor gamers. Keep in mind what the price might be when you start negotiating prices. There are many factors, like size and scope, platform, and popularity. 1 minute showcase length is fine. Negotiate what is beneficial for both. Paying people play your game Even more expensive than sponsors with the same factors, sure, but this technique can be extremely effective. A much more indept review. You can just pay for 1 episode, and if the view count is high enough and the game is fun, the gamer can continue the series of their own accord. Episodes should be 11-20 minutes. Social Media and Web browsers You need a way to communicate to your fans online. it is important for every company to have an online presence and a website for formal introduction. A presence on social media is for more personal communication, while a website is for formal inquiries, but also has some personal benefits. Join Blogs that let you advertise your game There are lots of different blogs that let game developers advertise their games. As in, not all let you advertise. Join the community to interact with fellow developers and fans of various communities. You can approach others for businnes inquiries, and vice versa. You can advertise on the blog so that your brand will be well-known. But make sure to choose blogs that let you advertise. Otherwise you won't have much marketing power. Develop Alpha and Beta versions of your game Alpha and Beta phases are typically used for testing purposes , but they can double as a marketing tool. They let you get recognition before the game is released. For example, Minecraft made $80M before release. Alpha comes first, and this phase is really buggy, so expect your game to crash at any high fps moment😂. Beta comes second, and it's less buggy and more fun. It's fine to just release Beta, because you're might just rage at how unpolished it is."Why! Why does this game suck so much!?"😁. Anyway, releasing early-access provides for major word of mouth. Not to mention the effect it has if you execute them well. For example, Stick War:Saga spent 2-3 years in beta(and cycled through 3 names). Craft Demos for your fans Demos are free versions of the game that aren't the full game. Before you buy the game, you can play a demo to see if you like the game. In a demo, maybe there is a set time for you to play before the demo stops. Or maybe you are supposed to play through some parts of the game. It's essentially a sneek-peek of the game. You need to see if the demo is suitable for your game. Your demo shouldn't exist entirely of tutorials. The player must want to play more. On the other hand, the demo must not be too long. Demos are a tool for persuading others to play your game. If executed well, you will get satisfactory results. Participate in Events and Contests You can meet your fans in person! You can participate in contests and get recognition to make a name for yourself! The problem is that traveling and lodging is expensive. It's stressful and an absolute nightmare (or maybe I'm exaggerating?But I've gone to lot of flights). But events are fun, and you can interact with a lot of people! You can meet investors and strike deals. It 's important to establish your presence among seasoned professionals. You should sell merchandise and gain detailed feedback. Source: Wix AI generated Formulate promotional Trailers for your video games Creating trailers for your game is an excellent strategy for gaining traffic for your game. They are displayed on various game stores. Make sure to upload them online on all social media platforms your company participates, as well as on your website. Make it show what is good about the game. 2-3 minutes length is good. For storyline games, a trailer with crazy music like Breath of the Wild's would be awesome. Trailers have frequent cuts, showcasing gameplay and mechanics. Splash text and animation would be cool. Source Produce and compose Gaming Content Online, and tap into other Media Gaming content is extremely popular, it amasses billions of views every year. For example, Minecraft is the most popular game on Youtube so the content creators basically do the advertising for them. Mojang devised a strategy to teach people the art of content creation as a cool marketing strategy. The most popular platforms for content creators are Youtube and Twitch. If you have the budget, you can even tap into other media. You already have instant marketing, so that lowers the budget a little. Video game animation series and movies can be awsome, but beware. If not handled correctly, the projects may flop. Video games are better for toys and graphic novels. Books with no audiovisual elements aren't that cool when it comes to video game spinoffs. Collaborate with other Game developers When you collaborate, the budget is split(that includes marketing). Word of Mouth effect is doubled. Collaborating in advertising can significantly boost reach and impact by combining resources, audiences, and expertise.Collaborating in advertising can significantly boost reach and impact by combining resources. Keep in mind, collaboration can be hard if you're not good or experienced at working with others. audiences, and expertise. Devise Spinoffs for your Superior games Sequel games build of off the original. Storyline games have to be faithful to the original. Prequel games are more about the world before, giving more info. People always like spinoffs that are faithful and give what they want, just as long as they aren't treated like cash grabs. When you make spinoffs, they already have set marketing. You only need to tell the news. Stick war:Saga had 5 games behind it. There are 2 categories. Same game with different experience/genre like Minecraft's sequels, or same game with significant add-ons and changes. Remakes are created to evoke nostalgia, leverage technological advancements, enhance the gaming experience, revitalize interest, reach a broader audience, and meet market demand. Your game must be worthy of a sequel. Revenue-wised, audience-wised, design-wised, optionally story-wised. Conclusion These are 13 awsome ways of advertising your video game. The techniques shown are modern and detailed. They meet all types of budgets. I hope you like my article. I worked hard on it. 1350 words! Bye, and hope you read on X GameWorks again! Notes I was taught about the importance of word of mouth from my mom😂. I didn't like that there aren't as many pictures, but articles for the Guides page won't have too many audiovisual elements. I did what I could ¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

In the ever-evolving landscape of video games, staying ahead of the curve is not only an advantage; it's a necessity. Game design trends shape the industry, influencing everything from visuals and mechanics to storytelling and player engagement. As we journey into a new era of gaming, let's delve into the cutting-edge trends that are revolutionizing the way we play. The Rise of Virtual Reality (VR) Gaming: One of the most significant advancements in the gaming industry is the rise of Virtual Reality (VR) technology. VR gaming provides players with a truly immersive experience, blurring the lines between the virtual world and reality. From exploring fantastical realms to participating in heart-pounding adventures, VR has opened up a whole new dimension for gamers to explore. With the continuous development of VR headsets and peripherals, we can expect to see even more mind-blowing VR experiences in the near future. The Influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Game Design: From dynamic NPCs to adaptive gameplay, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly prominent role in shaping game experiences. AI algorithms are being used to create more realistic and challenging opponents, as well as to personalize player interactions. With AI-driven content generation and procedural level design, games can offer endless possibilities, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can anticipate more sophisticated and nuanced gaming experiences that adapt to the player's behavior and choices. The Emergence of Cross-Platform Play: Gone are the days when gamers were restricted by their choice of gaming platform. Cross-platform play has become a prevalent trend, allowing players on different devices to game together seamlessly. Whether you're gaming on a console, PC, or mobile device, cross-platform play enables friends to connect and play together regardless of their preferred platform. This trend not only fosters a more inclusive gaming community but also opens up new opportunities for developers to reach a broader player base. The Impact of Game Streaming Services: With the rise of game streaming services, such as Twitch and Google Stadia, gaming has transcended traditional boundaries. These platforms allow players to broadcast their gameplay to a global audience, fostering a vibrant community of gamers and content creators. Game streaming not only provides entertainment but also serves as a platform for players to learn from each other, share tips and tricks, and showcase their skills. As streaming technology continues to advance, we can look forward to even more interactive and engaging gaming experiences. The Evolution of Narrative-driven Gameplay: Storytelling has always been a cornerstone of gaming, but in recent years, we've seen a shift towards more narrative-driven gameplay experiences. Games like "The Last of Us" and "Red Dead Redemption 2" have set new standards for immersive storytelling, blending compelling narratives with captivating gameplay. Players are increasingly drawn to games that offer rich narratives, complex characters, and moral dilemmas. As game developers continue to prioritize storytelling, we can expect to see even more emotionally resonant and thought-provoking gaming experiences. The Future of Game Design: As we look towards the future, the possibilities in game design seem endless. Emerging technologies like Augmented Reality (AR), Cloud Gaming, and Blockchain integration are set to revolutionize the gaming landscape further. From hyper-realistic graphics to seamless multiplayer experiences, the future of gaming is brimming with promise and innovation. In conclusion, game design trends are constantly evolving, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in gaming. Whether it's through immersive VR experiences, AI-driven gameplay, or cross-platform play, the future of gaming is bright and full of exciting possibilities. As gamers, we can look forward to a future where creativity knows no bounds, and the adventure never ends.
