商品描述

The Game Design Dive series examines a specific game system or mechanic over the course of the history of the industry. For this book, it will examine the history of jumping - one of the oldest mechanics in the industry, and how it has evolved and changed over the years. We will look at the transition from 2D to 3D, and multiple elements that make jumping more complicated than it looks from a design perspective.
