How Space Game Designs Vary

By Magdalen P. Oga


Gaming studios that have worked hard on both space game RPG's and MMORPG's are seeing lots of benefits since these games have exploded in popularity in recent years. Role playing games, or RPG's for short, are essentially based off of older games like Dungeons and Dragons but with additional twists and elements of their digital media. As technology has gotten better during the last decade, particularly in relation to the Internet, so has the way in which many people enjoy role playing and space games. The popularity of MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer online role playing games, is one of the most clear changes that the Internet has brought to the world of video games. What distinctions can be drawn between MMORPG's and their one player RPG counterparts?

The core elements of any RPG space game, such as leveling up, gaining items as loot from defeated enemies, and customizing your character, will hold true in both RPG's and MMORPG's. But most single player, console RPG's hold to a much more linear story line that does not allow for a lot of personal adaptation by players. You cannot make major changes to the plot of the game because the dialogue and events are already programmed into the game and cannot be altered.

This is very different, however, if you are playing a space game designed as an MMORPG that allows you to interact with hundreds of other players. Teaming up with other players influences the dynamic of gameplay in a very unique way and the game itself is always being updated by the developing studio. This creates a random element to these games that is much more akin to real life and thus enhances the feeling of role playing. Instead of sticking to a set path for the game's progression and your character's decisions, you can choose your own path and focus on the elements of the game that you find most interesting.

The considerable majority of role playing games for typical gaming consoles have been one player games with no multiplayer support or modes. The social part of playing together with lots of other MMORPG gamers is very exciting.

RPG's, MMORPG's, and other space games all offer exciting elements that gamers love. The thrill of moving through a fun MMORPG together with friends and other gamers is sure to keep you enticed as you play such games.
