Abstract :
A search algorithm for role-playing games (RPGs) equipments design is proposed to automatic set the adequate parameter values of weapons and armors. The typical RPGs combat algorithm and their skills are carefully chosen to be simultaneously simple and expressive. The goal of the proposed system is to provide various sorting lists based on different player characters and boss scenarios to game designer to quickly select the parameter values in RPG´s equipments design. At the foundation of the experiment is a simple RPG combat system that allows game developers to generate parameter values of weapons and armors for reference. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can assist game developers to quickly and reasonably design the equipments in RPGs. Furthermore, cooperating with the appropriate naming system and art design, the proposed algorithm also can quickly provide a variety and personalization equipment selection to embed into a game engine. Finally, areas for both PC and APP applications on RPGs of this technique and potential academic research topics for game balance are speculated upon.
