Case Studies Reference
Detailed analysis of building systems from successful games, plus decision frameworks for new projects.
Quick Reference
| Game | Building Focus | Physics | Scale | Key Innovation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fortnite | Combat/action | Arcade | Small | Edit system, speed |
| Rust | Survival/raids | Heuristic | Large | Tool Cupboard, decay |
| Valheim | Exploration | Heuristic | Medium | Stability from ground |
| Minecraft | Creativity | None | Infinite | Voxel simplicity |
| No Man's Sky | Base building | Minimal | Medium | Snap points, free place |
| Satisfactory | Factory | Grid-based | Large | Hybrid grid/free |
When to Use This Skill
Use case studies when making design decisions such as which physics model to implement, how to handle multiplayer building, choosing between grid and free placement, and deciding on decay/upkeep systems. The analyses provide concrete examples of trade-offs and their outcomes.
