| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on games played around a table. It essentially aims the students to understand analog game design processes, but also to acquire information on how to integrate game design and create links with all the other aspects of analog game production. It involves the students in various and numerous workshops and group activities. The course relies on pragmatic reasoning and professional experiences rather than academic informations and ultimately aims to widen prespectives and open a creative mind on the analog game design subject. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Will comprehend the scale of use for game mechanics 2) Will be understanding tabletop game mechanics 3) Will be using pragmatic reasoning and professional perspective for analog game design 4) Will be able to analyze tabletop game making techniques 5) Will integrate game design and creativity on all analog projects |
| This course will cover the creation of a game from the very first game idea to the production documents needed by factories, including creating and respecting a policy, brain storming a game, pitching, writing game design documents, writing rules documents, prototyping, playtesting and finalizing documents for production. Learning Methods: Lecture, Implementation, Case Study, Educational Game, Project, Collaborative Learning |
