It will explore defining the genre, why it&#39;s appealing, and how to design and build your own incremental game. Along the way will be <s>interactive examples</s>, snippets from other creators, and relevant material to contextualize everything.</p><blockquote><p>Note: This is an incomplete document. I want to keep adding opinions and opposing views from other incremental games developers, and add interactive examples to illustrate various points regarding game design and balancing. Consider this a living document - and see the changelog at the end.</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>Note: This was made before my switch to a digital garden, and is written as prose.

What authority do I have to be making this guide? I haven&#39;t made the best incremental games, nor the most incremental games, certainly not the most popular ones either. But I do have some formal education in game development, know a lot of incremental game devs (as well as other game devs), and have a passionate interest in ludology, classifying genres, etc. I&#39;ve also made <a href="/garden/my-projects/">a couple of incremental games</a>) myself.</p><p>If you have any additional questions about my credentials or anything on this site, feel free to reach out!</p><h2 id="ludology" tabindex="-1">Ludology <a class="header-anchor" href="#ludology" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Ludology&quot;">​</a></h2><ul><li><a href="/garden/guide-to-incrementals/defining-the-genre/">Guide to Incrementals/Defining the Genre</a></li><li><a href="/garden/guide-to-incrementals/appeal-to-players/">Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Players</a></li><li><a href="/garden/guide-to-incrementals/appeal-to-developers/">Guide to Incrementals/Appeal to Developers</a></li><li><a href="/garden/guide-to-incrementals/what-is-content/">Guide to Incrementals/What is Content?</a></li></ul><h2 id="making-an-incremental" tabindex="-1">Making an Incremental <a class="header-anchor" href="#making-an-incremental" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Making an Incremental&quot;">​</a></h2><ul><li><a href="/garden/guide-to-incrementals/navigating-criticism/">Guide to Incrementals/Navigating Criticism</a></li></ul>',11),r=[o];function l(s,d,m,c,g,h){return t(),a("div",null,r)}const f=e(i,[["render",l]]);export{p as __pageData,f as default};
