36-2520 Game Design I

Course builds on the skills and techniques learned in Simulation Design I and Engine Based Design as a foundation for deconstructing play elements and player goals, as well as play-time transactions and interactivity through the development of small, turn-based games. The various aspects of game state are reviewed, as well as the interactive elements with an eye toward determining how much control a player has or needs over that game element and in terms of participant involvement and agency.
