Crafting

Activity flexible

Making new objects from existing materials – by recipe or freely experimenting. The result lands in the inventory, not in the play space.

Design question – Your agents combine and transform – what can be crafted in your game?

Reference example – Terraria: ore and wood become weapons and tools at different workbenches. The Quacks of Quedlinburg: mix a brew from ingredients in the pot. Zelda: Breath of the Wild: combine ingredients in the cooking pot into strengthening dishes.

Motivations

• Creation (MOT-04) – Expression: creating one’s own objects.
• Curiosity (MOT-02) – Discovering recipes.
