Tynan Sylvester（RimWorld 创作者、《体验引擎：游戏设计全景探秘》（Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences）的作者）在他关于打造“故事生成器”而非单纯做游戏的 GDC 演讲前半部分对此有一些非常棒的想法。他谈到了“空想性错视 / 错觉联结”（apophenia）——即玩家总倾向于把叙事意义强加给……
Tynan Sylvester (creator of Rimworld, and author of "Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences") has some great thoughts on this in the early part of his GDC talk on building a 'story generator' rather than a game. He talks about 'apophenia' - the propensity of players to ascribe narrative meaning…

……一小撮启发式规则（heuristics）再加上几次 random() 调用而已。在不知道底层模拟机制的玩家看来，后者 _看起来_ 就像是个复杂系统的输出。参见：RimWorld 开发者 Tynan Sylvester 写的《游戏设计》（Designing Games，https://tynansylvester.com/book/）。我觉得《矮人要塞》（Dwarf Fortress）算是一个反证这条规律的特例。不管怎么说，我觉得这类模拟机制酷毙了……

游戏设计方面的另一本好书：Tynan Sylvester（RimWorld）写的《体验引擎：游戏设计全景探秘》（Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences）
Another good one on the game design side of things: Designing Games: A Guide to Engineering Experiences by Tynan Sylvester (RimWorld)
我一直在读 Tynan Sylvester 写的《Designing Games》（http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920026624.do，用优惠码 DEAL 电子书只要 10 刀）。目前为止非常有意思。游戏设计关乎的并不是美术、写作或者编程……
