So 2D6 is the equivalent of sampling a 6 item loot table twice. Multiple dice can be represented as rolling the same loot table multiple times.The sides (1-N) are items (labeled 1 through N).Or they could have tiny decks that are the equivalent of a typical poker hand.
Your decks could have 1000’s of cards and a vast array of types. Now a normal deck of cards has 52 cards, but with loot tables, you don’t need to operate with that constraint. Drawing a card is the equivalent of selecting the item that drops.Shuffling the deck is equivalent to assigning each item to a range and generating a random number.The number of cards of a given type is that item’s weight.Each type of card in the deck is an item.Imagine deck of cards that you can shuffle and draw from. It is a fun superpower to train your designer brain to be able to switch between understanding any randomness issue in terms of loot tables, cards or dice. This system is a simple restating of many other familiar methods of randomness. So what does this look like to the player? We’ve got a 10% chance of dropping a sword, a 40% chance of dropping a shield and a 50% chance of getting nothing.Īs the designer, I could go in and change Null’s weight to 100 and now I’ve got a 6.6% (10/150) chance of dropping a sword, a 26% (40/150) chance off dropping a shield and a 66% (100/150) chance of dropping nothing. Reroll: Generate multiple random numbers to simulate multiple rolls.Generate a random number from 1 to 100.They don’t need to add up to 100 since these aren’t percentages. Total probability: First, sum all the weights in the bucket.Null items: One of the items in the loot bucket is ‘null’ which means if that is rolled, no loot is given.For example a sword might have a drop rate of 10. Weight: An item has a drop weight: 1 to 10,000.For example a loot table might include: Sword, Shield, Null. Loot Table: A set of items is put into a loot table.Item: An item is something you want give the player.Let’s say when you defeat an enemy, you have a chance of getting shield, a rare sword or nothing at all. The goal is to drop some set of items at a given probability. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to these tips and tricks. Here are some best practices I’ve encountered over the years. Loot drops are a pretty mundane topic, but one that almost every designer runs into at some point. that doesn't mean your Cuphead skills will be any different if you had not accomplished one of those feats.Many games have loot.

So if you're an MLG Pro FPS player or maybe some Hearthstone world champion. So there is no way that an expectation for me to have been anywhere near decent at month 1 would have been reasonable at all. All the gaming experience I've had in the past didn't translate at all into that game, because it doesn't quite play like any other game (that I know of much less have played). Not some sort of "Dark Souls of Platformers" (Not that Dark Souls is even that You say "I consider myself good at video games" but unless that's specifically in regard to your platform shooters (with emphasis on bosses) skills I don't think that line says much.Ī game I got into about a year ago was Rocket League. we obviously wouldn't have the same experience as the former group.įor me, this felt just about similar in difficulty to those other such games I've played before.

Plenty of gamers these days grew up on Console Generation 7+ (Wii / PS3 / 360) I can understand how people take longer, or the constant comments/reviews saying how difficult this game is.īut someone like me who's been playing games with traits of Cuphead since my youth (Megaman, Contra, Metal Slug, Gradius) up til more modern times (Touhou, Mighty Number 9, Azure Striker Gunvolt). I mean, weren't there over a million sales on this game already? Why would one think 80 respondents represents anywhere near the entire population that played this game? I'm just like, "Yeah, I'm fastest of 80 people (at that time) who reported their times on that website." (Spoilers: I didn't) He even linked me the "HowLongToBeat" website like OP did, and said I had faster than the fastest time on there. Said I must have watched youtube/twitch in order to be able to get such a time. My friend took 13+ hours, and called bullshit on me. As well as another respondant saying "about 5 hours for first playthrough" Took me 5:10 myself for a normal playthrough. Haha, not sure why you some people calling bullshit on your time.
