商品描述

Designing Virtual Worlds, authored by a true pioneer, stands as the most comprehensive examination of virtual-world design ever written. This seminal work is a tour de force, remarkable for its intellectual breadth, encompassing the literary, economic, sociological, psychological, physical, technological, and ethical foundations of virtual worlds. It provides readers with a profound, well-grounded understanding of essential design principles.

This first volume presents a rich, well-developed exploration of the foundational concepts underpinning virtual worlds. Tracing the evolution of such games from their inception, it draws upon examples ranging from the earliest MUDs to today's expansive MMORPGs. It elucidates fundamental design precepts often forgotten in the development of new games.

No other book on online games or virtual worlds matches the level of detail, historical context, and conceptual depth found in Designing Virtual Worlds.

本卷呈現了對虛擬世界基礎概念的豐富且充分發展的探索。它追溯了這類遊戲的演變，從最早的 MUD 到今天的廣泛 MMORPG，並舉出多個範例。它闡明了在新遊戲開發中常被遺忘的基本設計原則。

沒有其他關於線上遊戲或虛擬世界的書籍能與《設計虛擬世界》在細節、歷史背景和概念深度上相提並論。
