Produce a game design scope based on the theory provided, design a playable prototype, evaluate the game prototype and produce a short game design paper While the main purpose of the game desing paper is to scecify the holisitc game (the prototype will only represent a vertical slice of the game) it will also invite for critical discussion of desing options (and by association the desing methods chosen) and thus invite students to critically refelect upon thier desing skills. Game Design Theory –What is Game Design –Player Types –MDA Theory –Game Design Principles –Game Design Patterns –Game Mechanics –Game based Graphics Design –Game User Interface Design –Interaction Design, Game Structure & Flow –Game Design Process Assignment 1: Deconstruct a Game based on Game Theory Storytelling –Storyworld –Magic Circle –Storytelling Tools for Game Design Game Design Creativity Workshops –We will organize a number of Workshops after we learned about the Game Design Theory Tools (You are required to learn those tools self sufficiently!) –Graphics 2D - Photoshop - Gimp –Prototyping http://proto.io/ https://www.scirra.com/construct2 Unity –Storytelling Tool to be announced Final Assignment : Game Design Paper in an ACM Format as well as a self-explanatory Click Prototype of one part of the game |
| English Abstract: | In this praxis-oriented seminar, we will form teams (2-max 5 students) and work on a "vertical slice of a game". A vertical slice is a portion of a game that acts as a proof of concept for investors or other stakeholders within the games industry who plan to fund games. Students start the design process by forming interests groups and deconstructing a game of their choice using a reverse engineering approach with the purpose of understanding the various factors that will play into a holistic gaming experience. The purpose of the teamwork is to enable critical discussions and design reflections. After some creativity workshops, the students start then to form game design teams and create low fidelity prototypes and organize a number of playtests to evaluate and critically discuss game mechanics, dynamics or aesthetics. After an analysis phase, the students then start working on their final seminar project, a “Vertical Slice of a Game”. Throughout an iterative design process, the students will critically discuss and reflect upon design methods and design options for the purpose of learning how to apply a player-centered approach and conduct an empirical study for games. Due to the interdisciplinary nature, students will be invited to consider technological, design and business concepts and how they may influence holistic design decisions. |
