Revision as of 17:28, 2 October 2011
Note: not all these patterns should necessary be made...
Note: to make a new pattern, use the Gameplay Design Pattern Template
Note: the suggested patterns are not made as links to avoid hiding patterns that are actually referenced to
Note: the totally new patterns at the bottom of the page should be left even after they are create to make it easier for us to identify them.
Suggestion from non-users for new patterns will hopefully be possible to do on the discussion page soon.
