Game Design

DIG10 Game Design Introduction – Assignment Brief

Assignment 3 Brief: Game Prototype Presentation &Project Report – 40%

Introduction

This unit introduces you to the design of games with a focus on providing a framework for the conceptual design of games.

This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to develop and prototype the game design that you conceptualised in detail for your Assignment 2 Game Design Document.

For this assessment you can choose to create either a refined and developed paper based prototype, or a digital game that utilises text and images using the game engine Twine. If you have discussed the use of an alternative game engine with your tutor then you may use this to create your game prototype.

As well as your completed game prototype, this assessment activity also requires the presentation of your game prototype through the recording and presentation of a video demonstrating your gameplay.

Finally this assessment addresses your ability to reflect and critique completed game designs, and will be required to provide feedback to your peers on their game design presentation videos, critically analysing how their game design utilises the 4 elements of mechanics, story, aesthetics and technology to engage and immerse its players.
