Gaming is now an influential communication tool, and many people see it as a way to escape reality.

In fact, games are like invisible buildings that exist in our lives. They shape and change our mental world and thinking patterns. This topic really deserves to be discussed in depth.

Negative space is seen as "negative space" or "inert space" that forces people to leave.

Games are similar, but their impact is more complex.

In some games, there may be mechanics that make players feel unhappy, making it feel like they are in a negative environment.

For example, some puzzle games are too difficult and lack guidance, leaving players confused and frustrated.

But this negative element can be transformed in a good game.

Take the "Dark Souls" series as an example. The high difficulty design may make people feel uncomfortable at first. However, once you become familiar with the game, you will find the unique fun in it.

We can't just focus on the negative aspects of games. In fact, games also have a positive constructive effect.

Like architecture, games build frameworks.

"Animal Crossing" creates an animal community full of warmth and harmony, where players can live, interact, and create as they please.

After the massive popularity of free mobile games, video games have affected a large number of people.

The influence of game designers' decisions is becoming increasingly powerful.

The update plan and event design of this popular mobile game have had a significant impact on the gaming experience of millions of players.

Take "Honor of Kings" as an example. Its hero setting adjustments and skin release strategies are quite ingenious.

Its anti-addiction mechanism and social function design are gradually changing players' gaming behavior and even affecting their views on social interaction in real life.

At the same time, this also brings a certain responsibility.

Designers need to think about the impact of these decisions on players in social life.

Games are not just entertainment products, but also an important tool that affects social structure and cultural communication.

At present, many players and designers use simple and crude methods to fight boredom.

Some games continue to provide players with new and difficult challenges, using reward mechanisms or new content to quickly capture their interest.

However, truly meaningful games should tap into the potential of the game mechanics themselves.

Take "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" as an example. This game abandons conventional linear tasks and compact challenge paths. It features an open world and sophisticated interactive design, allowing players to naturally immerse themselves in the adventure. This kind of design does not rely on simple stimulation, but makes the player experience more in-depth.

Over-reliance on simple stimulation is not conducive to players' experience of the depth of the game.

Once players develop poor stimulating habits, it will be difficult for them to appreciate the rich connotations of high-quality games.

And this also affects the development direction of the game industry.

The game world influences our experience of constructing the world.

When we acquire a new cognitive framework in the game, it will affect our perception of reality.

The game "The Sims" has given many players a new way of thinking about handling family affairs and planning their personal lives.

Games are considered to be escaping reality in traditional concepts, but in fact they are expanding the real world.

In the game "Minecraft", players can use their imagination to build various buildings. When this way of thinking about creation and construction is brought into reality, it can inspire people's enthusiasm for transforming the surrounding environment.

At the same time, games enhance our confidence in overcoming difficulties.

In the game, when we successfully pass a seemingly insurmountable level, it will make us convinced that in real life, those problems can also be solved step by step.

Game design is actually a creative art.

Rules are not constraints, just like Go. Although it has strict rules, it contains endless tactical possibilities.

Understanding the art of game design, designers are like artists.

"Journeyer" created by Chen Xinghan has successfully created a strong artistic atmosphere with its unique visual presentation, smooth operating experience and simple yet profound interactive design.

For games to fulfill their artistic functions, designers need to pay attention to the impact of their works on society and people.

In "Death Stranding", Hideo Kojima integrated deep thoughts on human social interaction and loneliness into it, making the game no longer just a pastime, but an art form.

In the game's hidden buildings, we "travelers" need to discern which spaces are better and which are less desirable.

Games full of creativity and meaning can have positive effects on players, such as enhancing their creativity and exercising their patience.

And some bad games may bring negative factors such as violence and addiction.

Game design should become common sense for modern people, so that people can have a deeper understanding of games and obtain positive benefits from them.
