Abstract
A computer game support system, game design method and system is disclosed. A plot element data repository encodes an abstract representation of computer game plot elements. A gaming environment is provided to one or more clients in dependence on the abstract representation. Plot element data encodes blocks for forming the abstract representation of computer game plot elements, said blocks being interlinkable, each block representing a computer game element or an attribute of a computer game element, links between blocks defining relationships between said represented computer game elements or attributes.
Claims18
A computer game support system comprising:
- a plot element data repository encoding an abstract representation of computer game plot elements;
- and,
- a processor configured to execute computer program code for providing a gaming environment to one or more clients, the computer program code including:
- computer program code configured to access said data repository and retrieve at least a part of said abstract representation;
- computer program code configured to interpret said abstract representation to identify one or more objects associated said abstract representation and cause an operation in a computer game environment using said objects.
A computer implemented game creation system comprising:
- a plot element data repository encoding blocks for forming an abstract representation of computer game plot elements, said blocks being interlinkable, each block representing a computer game element or an attribute of a computer game element, links between blocks defining relationships between said represented computer game elements or attributes;
- and,
- a processor configured to execute computer program code for providing a user interface for manipulating and linking said blocks to form said abstract representation.
A computer implemented game design method comprising:
- storing, in a data repository, data encoding blocks for forming an abstract representation of computer game plot elements, said blocks being interlinkable, each block representing a computer game element or an attribute of a computer game element,
- links between blocks defining relationships between said represented computer game elements or attributes;
- and,
- executing, by a processor, computer program code for providing a user interface for manipulating and linking said blocks to form said abstract representation.
