6. GAME FLOW DESIGN
 In designing and
developing a game,
STATE MACHINE
show the different
states of a game and
how it responds to
various events by
changing from one
state to another

 Licenses
 Introductory movie
 Front end (game option, sound option, video option)
 Loading screen

 End game movie
 Credits
 Shut down

8. DIAGRAMMING TOOL
 A diagramis a simplified representation of drawing
showing the structure, process, flow, appearance,
relation or spatial mapping.
 Diagramming tool consists of multiple two-
dimensional geometric representation.
 Also diagrams that represent information using
graphs, bar chart, blueprints, infographics,
illustration sketches or other techniques

11. GAME FLOW DIAGRAM (GFD)
 GFD can be used for visual
thinking, problem solving,
brainstorming and others related
with game design and
development.
 GFD will be the useful
diagramming tools for the game
design and development activity
when it is concerned with the
PLAYERS and GAMEPLAY

12. GAME FLOW DIAGRAM (GFD)
 The game team can discuss
the GAME CONSTRAINTS,
determine the boundary of
the system and the details of
the INTERACTION between
the players and the
gameplay.
 GFD uses the same notation
such as flowcharts. L.F.M.I. 2014

13. GAME FLOW DIAGRAM (GFD)
 It breaks a process down to a FINITE
NUMBEROF STEPS that get executed on e at
a time.
 GFD can be used by game team in order TO
DOCUMENT GAME SPECIFICATIONS.
 GFDs are typically used to describe the
DETAILEDLOGIC OF A GAMEPLAY
PROCESS ORGAME RULES. L.F.M.I. 2014

group about your
GFD. Good Luck!!!

15. SCREEN FLOW DIAGRAM
(SFD)
 Identify single screens or pages in an
application (game).
 Show how they connected to each other (how
the user can navigate or action and move
between them).
 Identifying the goal of each one.
