Revision as of 15:02, 30 November 2010

For patterns that have partly or fully been inserted into the wiki, see the category of patterns.

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

Suggestion from non-users for new patterns will hopefully be possible to do on the discussion page soon.
