Game Design Concepts

Gamification, Iterative Design, Play

Games are stories, formal systems of rules, interactive sensory experiences, and artistic expressions from their creators. Game design is one of the most collaborative and interdisciplinary processes for new media development today. As gaming and gamification have become pervasive in the media industry, the tools to create the craft are more important than ever before in the new world of media technology.

In this project, students employ the concepts of “meaningful” games and iterative design to define and improve a series of classic video games. Expressed below are artifacts employing a universal visual language.
