What Art Students Must Know About Rpgs

By Katie Arden


Role playing video games are rooted in various ideas. Everything from the story to how progression, in general, is done must be taken into consideration by art students. They see plenty of good in game design and they want to be involved in the creation of some of the best interactive experiences imaginable. In order for this to be done, though, there are many elements of RPGs that should be covered throughout the entire process.

If you're tasked with the creation of an RPG, it's hard to overlook the important of storytelling. Gripping narratives, perhaps more than anything else, are needed for the purpose of building a role playing game that men and women alike will want to get into. Of course, a story can only be as effective as the characters which help to push it forward. Each of these elements should be outlined, early on, so that the rest of the RPG comes together well.

It's important for your role playing game to play well, but there are several components which play into this. One of the most important, in my view, has got to be the idea of progression and how characters level up over the course of time. It should feel as though this is done at a steady rate, as if it's not being done too quickly or too slowly. This can only be carried, though, if there is a strong degree of knowledge about RPGs, as this will help other engrossing experiences to be created.

With your RPG created, it's clear that it has to sell in order to perpetuate business. The way that this is done, in large part, is through marketing and there are many different platforms that can be used for this purpose. The Internet is especially noteworthy, as it is needed for the purpose of appealing to a broader audience, whether they are passionate video game fans or not. Social media, in particular, should be taken advantage of in the long term.

If you follow these points, there's no doubt that your RPG will be considered a success. As a game designer, you have to make sure that every considerable base is covered, whether it's a matter of design or marketing. When these are brought together, your RPG will not only be fun to play but easy to sell. To say that there's more than one avenue to cover would be an understatement and art school graduates would be wise to recognize this.
