Game structures that allow players to interrupt their gameplay without disrupting the gameplay for others.
This pattern is a still a stub.
Contents
Examples
Europa Universalis series Hearts of Iron series
Using the pattern
There are two aspects regarding the use of Interruptibility in games. One relates to making it possible to interrupt one's gameplay without ruining the game instances, the other relates to making it possible to interrupt gameplay without suffering negative consequences.
For games where
Multiplayer Games, Persistent Game Worlds
Algorithmic Agents and AI Players can support Interruptibility when they can temporarily replace a player during gameplay.
