It is possible that they dont know what this is for and you need to explain it to them.)版本 1.10(Version 1.10)1.10版本涉及了最初设计后所做的一些调整。下面是我做的修整。(Version 1.10 includes some tuning and tweaking that I did after making my initial pass at the design. Here is what I changed.)1、我改写了游戏的系统规定。(1. I rewrote the section about what systems the game runs on.)2、我整合了团队成员的反馈意见，并对整个策划进行了修正，但是没有做出太大的改动。(2. I incorporated feedback from the team into all parts of the design however no major changes were made.)3、象这样继续列出你所做出的修改。(3. Just keep listing your changes like this.)版本 2.00(Version 2.00)2.00版本是第一个在非常了解游戏的情况下完毕了大量修改的版本。在很长时间的设计之后，拟定了很多结果。在这个文档中现在有了更多大型的设计决策。（Version 2.00 is the first version of the design where a major revision has been made now that much more is known about the game. After many hours of design, many decisions have been made. Most of these large design decisions are now reflected in this document.）列出所包含的改变：（Included in the changes are:）1、留出设计余地。（留空，而不是添加设计内容）(1. Pairing down of the design scope. （Scope, not design）)2、在很多区域有更多具体的描述，特别是A、B和C。(2. More detailed descriptions in many areas, specifically A, B and C.)3、故事细节。(3. Story details.)4、世界规划和设计。(4. World layout and design.)版本 2.10(Version 2.10)2.10版本在2.00版本的基础上作出几个小的调整。关键的变化是在众多的附录中。（Version 2.10 has several small changes over that of version 2.00. The key areas are in many of the appendixes.）列出所包含的改变：（Included in the changes are:）1、遍及整个文档的次要的修改。（1. Minor revisions throughout entire document.）2、加入“用户界面附录”。（2. Added “User Interface Appendix”.）3、加入“游戏中的对象附录”。（3. Added “Game Object Properties Appendix”.）4、加入对游戏世界的基本思想梗概。（4. Added concept sketch for world.）游戏概述（Game Overview）哲学（Philosophy）哲学观点 #1(Philosophical point #1)这个游戏试着去做这些或那些。主线上我试着去完毕一些以前所没有实现过的东西。或者，这个游戏不去试着改变世界。我们几乎无法相信，我们如此成功地赢得了竞争。仅仅使用现有引擎，通过新的游戏设计艺术，我们将使世界震惊。(This game is trying to do this and that. Fundamentally I am trying to achieve something that has never been achieved before. Or. This game will not try and change the world. We are ripping off the competition so exactly that I cant believe it. The world will be shocked at how we are using an existing engine with new art.)哲学观点 #2(Philosophical point #2)我们的游戏仅在康柏电脑上运营。为了某某理由。（反正世界迟早要灭亡，这些理由有啥关系？）（补充：这里，可怜的模版作者似乎正在想办法码点东西出来占位）（Our game only runs on Compaq computers. The reason for this is such and such. We believe the world is coming to an end anyhow so what difference does it make?）哲学观点 #3(Philosophical point #3)当你提出了一些能概括这个游戏设计的哲学观点，自由的说出一切你想说的话吧。当然，你可以把“哲学观点”这个词，换成“我的游戏设计目的”，或者别的什么。（When you create some of these overarching philosophical points about your design, say whatever you want. Also, feel free to change it to “My game design goals” or whatever you like to call it.）基本问题（Common Questions）这个游戏是什么？（What is the game?）用一个段落来介绍这个游戏。回答那些你们将被询问的大多数基本问题。你们在设计如何的一个游戏？（Describe the game is a paragraph. This is the answer to the most common question that you will be asked. What are you working on?）为什么做这个游戏？（Why create this game?）你们为什么要做这样一个游戏？是由于你喜欢3D射击吗？还是你觉得目前XX游戏拥有潜在市场？（Why are you creating this game? Do you love 3D shooters? Do you think there is a hole in the market for Jell-O tossing midgets?）这个游戏在哪里发生？（Where does the game take place?）描述你的游戏所发生的地点。如此简朴而已。用几句话给读者一个对游戏的基本印象。具体的东西下面再说。记住，策划文档的这部分必须简洁易读。（Describe the world that your game takes place in. Simple as that. Help frame it in the readers mind by spending a few sentences on it here. You can go into lengthy detail later in a section solely dedicated to describing the world. Remember that we want to keep this part of the design light and readable.）我要操作什么？（What do I control?）说明一下玩家要操作些什么。你要对一群狂暴的、变异的、无聊的玩家负责。假如你乐意，你可以把话题转向AI，或者如何模拟一个鱼缸之类的。（Describe what the player will control. You will be in charge of a band of rabid mutant fiddle players. If you want you can switch on the AI and turn it into a fish bowl simulation.）我有几个角色可以选择？（How many characters do I control?）假如可以选择角色，说明一下吧。记得回答一些读者也许会问的问题。这些可是全都依赖你的设计呢。（If this applies talk a little more about the control choices. Remember to add answers to questions that you think the reader will ask. This is totally dependent on your design.）重要目的是什么？（What is the main focus?）我们已经知道了游戏的发生场景和玩家需要控制什么。接下来就是，在这个世界里，玩家的最终目是什么？（补充：比如，拯救世界）这些暴躁，无所事事的玩家们掌握着积极权。你要小心你的用词，别把策划弄得像是在推销。你的策划必须简朴明确。（Now that we know where the game takes place and what the player controls. What are they supposed to achieve in this world? Angry fiddle players take over the U.N. building. Be careful not to add a bunch of salesmanship here. Your design wants to stay light and informative.）与同类游戏有什么不同？（Whats different?）告诉他们这个游戏与同类游戏有什么不同。这个问题总是会被提出很多次。（Tell them what is different from the games that are attempting this in the market right now. This question comes up a lot.）特色设立（Feature Set）特色概述(General Features)巨大的世界(Huge world)异常无聊的玩家(Mutant fiddle players)三维图形(3D graphics)32位色彩(32-bit color)联网特色(Multiplayer Features)超过一千万玩家(Up to 10 million players)非常容易找到乐趣(Easy to find a game)非常容易在巨大的世界中找到志同道合的伙伴(Easy to find your pal in huge world)可以进行语音聊天(Can chat over voice link)编辑器(Editor)从世界（构架）开始编辑(Comes with world editor)从互联网上下载关卡(Get levels from internet)编辑器是非常容易使用的(Editor is super easy to use)游戏性(Gameplay)列出游戏体验的关键资源(List stuff here that is key to the gameplay experience)列出非常多的资源(List a lot of stuff here)嘿，假如你在这里没什么可展示的，那你的游戏值得玩什么呢？(Hey, if you got nothing here, is this game worth doing?)游戏世界（The Game World）概述（Overview）描述一下游戏中的世界概况。（Provide an overview to the game world.）世界特色 #1（World Feature #1）事实上这部分不应当叫做“世界特色 #1”，而是应当在这段的开头先列出这世界的一些重要组成。接着，在这一部分里，你把庞大的世界拆分为多个部分，然后一一进行描述。（This section is not supposed to be called world feature #1 but is supposed to be titled with some major thing about the world. This is where you break down what is so great about the game world into component pieces and describe each one.）世界特色 #2（World Feature #2）这部分也同样。别太卖力推销。这部分特色描述应当是严谨的。让游戏自己来吸引顾客吧。（Same thing here. Dont sell too hard. These features should be awesome and be selling the game on its own.）物质世界（The Physical World）概述（Overview）概述一下物质世界。然后在下面的章节中分述这个物质世界。（Describe an overview of the physical world. Then start talking about the components of the physical world below in each paragraph.）下面是物质世界的关键组成。（The following describes the key components of the physical world.）关键场合（Key Locations）描述世界中的关键场合。（Describe the key locations in the world here.）游历（Travel）描述玩家如何在世界中进行移动。（Describe how the player moves characters around in the world.）缩放比例（Scale）描述你用如何的比例来表现这个世界。这是非常重要的。（补充：比如在野外，你一步可以走N公里，而室内你只能跨过一块砖。或是否忠实的模拟一切景物，还是可以进行Q版似的扭曲。）（Describe the scale that you will use to represent the world. Scale is important!）对象（Objects）描述世界中能发现的不同对象。（补充：私认为，游戏中的对象也许不仅仅指物品，也许尚有机关，甚至NPC。因此我使用了“对象”一词。）（Describe the different objects that can be found in the world.）参考“对象附录”，这是一个世界里会出现的对象的列表。（See the “Objects Appendix” for a list of all the objects found in the world.）气候（Weather）假如有天气设定，描述这个世界里一共有多少种天气状况。假如没有，就别写这部分。是否需要这部分取决于你的游戏设计自身。（Describe what sort of weather will be found in the world, if any. Otherwise omit this section. Add sections that apply to your game design.）白天和黑夜（Day and Night）你的游戏中有白天和黑夜的模式吗？假如有，请说明。（Does your game have a day and night mode? If so, describe it here.）时间（Time）描述时间如何在你的游戏里起作用。（补充：比如，晚上商店关门。或者像模拟人生里，时间的流动是可以控制的。）（Describe the way time will work in your game or whatever will be used.）渲染系统（Rendering System）概述（Overview）先简朴说明你的游戏中将如何渲染，然后在接下来的段落里进行具体说明。（Give an overview of how your game will be rendered and then go into detail in the following paragraphs.）2D/3D 渲染（2D/3D Rendering）描述一下这个游戏所用的2D/3D渲染引擎。Describe what sort of 2D/3D rendering engine will be used.视角（Camera）概述（Overview）介绍游戏的视角。假如视角非常复杂，就提成几个小部分具体说明。（补充：常见的视角，就是我们所说的第一人称，第三人称）（Describe the way the camera will work and then go into details if the camera is very complicated in sub sections.）视角描述 #1（Camera Detail #1）视角可以这样那样的旋转。（The camera will move around like this and that.）视角描述 #2（Camera Detail #2）在这那那这的特殊环境中，视角有时会移动。（The camera will sometimes move like this in this special circumstance.）游戏引擎（Game Engine）概述（Overview）描述游戏引擎的概要。（Describe the game engine in general.）游戏引擎描述 #1（Game Engine Detail #1）这个游戏引擎将保存事物在世界中的轨迹，比如这样这样。（The game engine will keep track of everything in the world like such and such.）水（Water）世界中将存在水，它们看起来是如此的令人敬畏，我们的引擎会将它们解决的非常完美。（There will be water in the world that looks awesome and our game engine will handle it beautifully.）碰撞检测（Collision Detection）我们的游戏引擎非常好的解决碰撞检测。它使用了某某技术并非常卓越。你是否看到了我用大量时间所虚构出的愚蠢的占位符文字？（补充：他果然是在凑字数）（Our game engine handles collision detection really well. It uses the such and such technique and will be quite excellent. Can you see I am having a hard time making up stupid placeholder text here?）照明模式（Lighting Models）概述（Overview）说明一下你将采用的照明模式，然后下面提成几部分来描述。（Describe the lighting model you are going to use and then go into the different aspects of it below.）照明模式描述 #1（Lighting Model Detail #1）我们使用某某技术照亮我们的世界。（We are using the xyz technique to light our world.）照明模式描述 #2（Lighting Model Detail #2）我们不照亮茄子，由于它们是紫色的。（补充：=v=）（We wont be lighting the eggplants in the game because they are purple.）世界规划（The World Layout）概述（Overview）放一个概述在这里。（Provide an overview here.）世界规划描述 #1（World Layout Detail #1）世界规划描述 #2（World Layout Detail #2）游戏角色（Game Characters）概述（Overview）描述你的游戏角色。（Over of what your characters are.）创建角色（Creating a Character）如何创建或选择你的角色。（How you create or personalize your character.）敌人和怪物（Enemies and Monsters）描述世界中玩家要对抗的敌人或怪物。自然，这些与你的游戏设计思想自身有很大关系。但是，通常来说，所谓游戏，就是让玩家试着杀掉某些东西。（Describe enemies or monsters in the world or whomever the player is trying to defeat. Naturally this depends heavily on your game idea but generally games are about trying to kill something.）用户界面（User Interface）概述（Overview）先给个概述，然后和其他部分同样，分几部分对用户界面进行具体说明。（Provide some sort of an overview to your interface and same as all the previous sections, break down the components of the UI below.）用户界面描述 #1（User Interface Detail #1）用户界面描述 #2（User Interface Detail #2）武器（Weapons）概述（Overview）游戏中武器的概述。（Overview of weapons used in game.）武器描述 #1（Weapons Details #1）武器描述 #2（Weapons Details #2）音乐总谱和声音效果（Musical Scores and Sound Effects）概述（Overview）这块也同样应当在概述后提成两个部分，但是我想你已经知道这点，所以我省略了。（This should probably be broken down into two sections but I think you get the point.）CD音轨(Red Book Audio)假如你是使用的CD音轨，那么描述你的计划。假如不是，那么你用什么格式的声音？(If you are using Red Book then describe wh
