Beschreibung:	Content of the Lecture: Game Design Theory What is Game Design Player Types Game Design Principles Game Design Patterns Game Mechanics Game based Graphics Design Game User Interface Design Interaction Design & Game Flow Game Design Process Game Design Creativity Workshops We will organize a number of Workshops after we learned about the Game Design Theory Tools (You are asked to learn those tools selfsufficiently!) Graphics 2D Photoshop Prototyping http://proto.io/ https://www.scirra.com/construct2 Assignment : A high-fidelity Prototype of a Mobile Game (a self-explanatory Click Prototype) Goal of the Lecture: Learn about game design theory (with an emphasis on Mobile Games) Enable Students to design mobile games! Ability to read mobile game design and understands what makes them appealing/fun. Understand the Language (GUID, UID, IXD, UXD & Game Design) Improve drawing, interaction and layout skills Understand Aesthetics of Game Design
English Abstract:	In this seminar we research, design and develop games applying a Research through Design (RtD) approach we will seek new knowledge by understanding the current state of a selected topic (e.g. motion tacking in games) and then suggesting an improved future state in the form of a design. The goal is to produce a vertical slice of game using easy access game engines and evaluate the prototype as part of a human centered design approach. The seminar focuses on the interdisciplinary skill sets that are necessary to appreciate and design games. Here we use a player centered approach that starts with analysing existing games, come up with a conceptual design, produce a low fidelity prototype and evaluate the prototype before producing the final game and a short scientific paper discussing the RtD approach.
