What is a Game’s
Mechanics?
• A game’s mechanics are the
rules and procedures that
guide the player an the and
the game response to the
player’s moves or actions.
• Through the mechanics you
create and define how the

people who play it.

Victory conditions are the
conditions with which the
player can win the game.
 Progression of Play

• This is a game design term that refers to

video game mechanics in which the designer
sets a course of action that a player must
complete to move forward in the game.
• Progression of play depends heavily on
checkpoints that a character must reach to
advance to the next level, such as defeating
the level boss.
 Player Action
• Player action is based on strategy
that comes as a result of an
interplay between the game
layout, the player’s knowledge
and beliefs, and the moves of a
human or computer opponent.
 Game View
• The Game View is rendered
from the camera(s) in your
game. It is representative of
your final, published game.
• You will need to use one or
more cameras to control what
the player actually sees when
they are playing your game.
