The presentation explores the need for the integration between shooting and skills from the product design point of view, elaborated by a few individual case studies. It analyzes the differences and commonalities of such integration in different application environments, distills the core design characteristics, decomposes these characteristics layer by layer, and therefore presents the "how" in building the skill design framework in shooting games. Followed by actual case studies, the presentation ends with a sharing on using a practical, decomposed method to ensure effective implementation and verification of the skill system design in shooting games.

Takeaway
