Lecture Topics 📖

Hello. I'm Sunny Rider, the creator of the "Game Planning Course That Will Get You a Job" course.

What is balance planning , the key issue that determines the fun of a game?

Game Balancing is
This is the task of determining the balance of elements appearing in the game .

One of the most important aspects of fun in a game is its balance .
Balance is a very important part of game planning, but there is no way to study it in detail.

First of all, there isn't much media that covers combat balance.
It's currently very difficult to find courses on balance planning, and it's not easy to actually understand how to achieve it. Even if you buy a book and study it, it's difficult to grasp the complex content.

#Lecture materials are provided in PDF format, and additionally, the entire actual balance figures Excel file is provided.
MORPG game overall balance data reverse planning Excel file, RPG equipment option data
We provide the reverse planning Excel file in downloadable format.

Follow the curriculum
Learn step by step!

  • You will learn what combat balance is and the elements necessary for combat balance.
  • Watch the lecture and personally establish the combat elements and standards necessary to achieve balance.
  • The ability levels of players and monsters are sequentially adjusted to meet the established criteria.
  • Using the combat formula, we will find out how much damage can be inflicted based on the attack and defense levels.
  • Look at the percentage of damage taken by each skill or basic attack and adjust it to an appropriate value.

1. Action RPG game combat, growth, and economic balance

  • Explains how balance affects the game and determines how many times a monster needs to be hit before it dies.

2. Distribute stamina appropriately for the duration of RPG battles.

  • Calculate the average game play time and distribute the monster's health accordingly.

The battle formula of MORPG games

  • Describes the game's commonly used combat formula and explains how it works.

4. Setting the standard abilities of monsters for each stage

  • This explains how to formulate the average abilities (attack power, defense power, and health) of monsters in 100 stages using an Excel trend line.

5. Set the total attack power of all allies

  • Explains the order in which battle balance values are adjusted, and sets the basic abilities and equipment abilities of friendly characters.
  • Also, check what percentage of total damage the character's basic attacks and skills account for.
  • Find the character's DPS and damage per minute.

6. Find the enemy's total defense and health

  • Sets the total effective health of the enemy based on the damage dealt by the player over a certain period of time and the duration of the game play.

7. Calculate the total enemy damage

  • Calculates the total damage dealt over a certain period of time, the survival time, using the monster's attack power per second stat.

8. Find the player character's defense and health

  • Sets the survival time of the player character and calculates the effective health required during the survival time.
  • Find the base stats and armor level of the armor to achieve that effective health level.
  • Let's check the defense rate of each armor item and the defense rate of the total defense power.

9. Working on matching balance in PvP content

  • We've balanced the matching system to ensure fair competition in content where players compete against each other.
  • After the competition is over, we use the elo-rating formula to fairly award changing scores.

Expected Questions Q&A 💬

Q. Is this a course that non-majors can also take?

Yes, you can do it even if you don't have a major, and if you have any gameplay experience, you can take it without any problems.

Q. Why should I learn about game balance?

Game balance, which balances a game's metrics, has a profound impact on its enjoyment and revenue structure. In RPG games, balancing combat, progression, and rewards is essential for providing a positive user experience and generating high revenue.

Q. What level of content is covered in the class?

We'll cover combat balance based on RPG game standards, so even those without prior knowledge can quickly learn and apply it. We'll first establish a fun combat balance, then use sampling to achieve a growth balance. Once we've achieved both combat and growth balance, and determined which gear will lead to growth levels, we can naturally adjust the reward balance accordingly.
