Column: The Learning Curve
Kingdom Under Fire Heroes exemplifies a
difficult balance game developers need
to consider.
Do they create games for a pre-existing
market, or do they consider the newbies
whose first 20 minutes might determine
whether they persist with a product?
Immediate pick-up-and-playability isn't
the sign of a good game, of course.
But the learning curve is certainly an
issue when it comes to expanding non-
gamers' awareness of the joys of this
most dynamic of cultural activities.
