DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGY FOR DESIGNING MULTI-USER ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of the author’s methodology for designing games in the genre of multiplayer role-playing games (MMORPG). MMORPGs are popular online games in which players can communicate, interact and fight with each other in a virtual world. Developing an MMORPG design methodology is an important task, as this genre requires a comprehensive approach to creating a gaming experience for many players. The work examines and analyzes existing approaches to game design, and organizes the search for optimal methods for solving design tasks. A review of design methods for various aspects of the game was conducted. Through this research, best practices and effective approaches to game design have been identified. Considering the various aspects of the game, design methods were studied that can be used to create game concept, combat, role and rating systems, game essence, game balance and level design. As a result of the study, an understanding of the best practices and methods of game design was obtained, as well as their use for the development of game project documentation. This allows you to increase the chances of success in creating a high-quality and attractive game that meets the set requirements and expectations. As a result of the work carried out, an important methodology was developed, which is used for designing games. However, it is worth noting that this methodology does not cover all aspects related to game design, leaving room for further expansion and improvement in this area. The process of developing new games opens up the opportunity to refine and improve the methodology itself, which can be refined and expanded during its application. This will make it possible to take into account new trends and requirements of the game industry to create even more exciting and innovative game products.
