[casual_games] Aztec

[Juan Gril]

Well, let’s paste the entire sentence, since the context of the message may
be understood differently. Here is what the sentence says:

 

“Casual Games players get put off by "cute" characters or visual elements
that make the sensation of watching a Saturday morning cartoon.”

 

So, is this statement true or false? Can the visual theme of a casual game
look like a Saturday morning cartoon?

 

I’d love to hear ideas on how to rephrase the idea too to be more clear.
Thanks,

 

Juan

I’d say the characters in Chuzzle are “cute”.

Coincidently enough, I was just editing the Production and Design section of
the White Paper this morning and writing about that topic:

http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper/Production_an
d_Design#Lively_and_Bright_Visuals

 

I’d love to hear what other people think. And while I have your attention,
the Production and Design section of the White Paper needs volunteers!
Anyone interested feel free to email me.

 

Cheers,

 

Juan

Seems apparent that game developers are picking easily recognizable motifs
with which to theme their games. They probably feel they are strengthening
their brands by relying on the context provided by familiar themes and
narratives. Think of all the games out there which use themes such as
camelot, atlantis, ancient egypt, etc.

Hi there!

 

    I have seen that a lot of casual games use aztec and Indiana-Jones-like
themes. Just Zuma cloning, or something else?
