ব্যর্থ গেমগুলি कতটা महत्वपूर्ण?

আমি Eclipse: Echoes of Olympus -এর first launch-এর समय अनुभव करलाम —একটি Unity-ভিত্তিক,গল্প-সমৃদ্ধ,যবনজড়িত Greek mythology-এর game. Review-গুলি decent-ছিল,কিন্তুহপচপচ্‌! �প্‌তাহখানেকেরওমধ‍্যে vanished.তখন?আমি ‘হার’দিচ্‌ছিলাম।

আজ?এটি best project-এর list-এ।

কেন?কারণ failure teach what success hides.

Game Failure -er Psychology

আমি USCs-ta flow theory study korechi—player not just mechanics engage korena, but feel korena।যখন game fail hoy,ta mane idea ta bad nai—emotional connection na land hoyeche।

আমার case e player lore love korechilo—but pacing slow find korechilo।Bug nai—story ambition vs player motivation er mismatch.

That insight? Priceless.

Successful Games can’t Teach You This

Top games retention & monetization optimize—kintu safe patterns use kore: familiar loops,dopamine-triggering rewards,predictable progression. They’re designed to work, not to evolve.

But failed games? They are experiments without filters.

One prototype scrapped: asymmetrical combat where one player Zeus control korbe,others mortals as voice commands only—no UI. Chaotic.Unplayable.But testing e discover korchi something profound: players emotionally invested jokhon actions were physically expressive—even if lost.

That moment led me to explore embodied gameplay in future projects—a concept now central to my work on VR interactions.

Innovation Lives in Abandoned Projects

I’ve worked on over ten prototypes that never shipped—some too ambitious (like real-time decision engine simulating divine judgment), others too niche (meditation-focused rhythm game based on Buddhist chants). Each failed for different reasons—but all taught me something vital:

• How players react under uncertainty,
• Where frustration becomes engagement,
• And when storytelling must bend mechanics instead of forcing them together.

These lessons aren’t found in analytics dashboards or playtest summaries—they emerge from broken systems trying to be beautiful.

The Real Value Is Iteration, Not Perfection

We’re trained to believe success is linear: build → test → launch → scale. But real innovation is nonlinear—messy, recursive, full of dead ends. My current project uses dynamic dialogue trees influenced by player biometrics (heart rate via wearables). It’s experimental—and risky. But it stems directly from failures in earlier narrative games where characters felt static despite rich scripts. even if this one flops… it’ll teach me more than any hit ever could.

Final Thought: Celebrate Your Fails Like Gods Celebrate Heroes’ Trials — With Reverence —

take pride not in what you finished—but in what you dared to try before giving up.
