Lets look at a game like Starcraft. It's easy to get into, but there's a huge difference between what some noob who plays Big Game Hunters 24/7 vs. what some gosu Korean player like Boxer or Nada. Does the fact that noobs can play Starcraft detract from the pro league? Not in the slightest. A well designed game has easy to use features in general, but allows for a skilled player to actually take full advantage of them. |
Pretty good comparison. Now how to implement it?
