(Series) Advanced Game Design Articles for Setting Up an Infinite Metagame

[Reactorcore]

This is a series of game design articles written by me.

They're more on the advanced and mature side of topics that dive much deeper into the idea of creating a truly Infinite Game - as in something that feels like your typical epic narrative driven 10 hour campaign experience, but having an infinite metagame that keeps the experience going without the game resetting after you’ve reached a what is commonly known as the “end game”.

These articles give you hints on how to surpass that limit and go beyond.
