Anotace

čeština

The guest lectures are set up as workshops in which the different stages of game development are addressed up until a prototype of a cardboard game. During the workshops, students are exposed to: game theory (fun, flow, game balance, challenges and actions), the game design process (research and user centred design), testing and evaluating, working in teams and the different roles associated in game production. Lecturers: Rob Willems & Harro Leupen, Hanze University Groningen, The Netherlands
