1 Game Design Staffan Björk
2 Some General Points Teachers Staffan Björk Locations Lectures at Torg Tuesdays and Fridays Exercises start in Torg Fridays
3 Learning Objectives After successfully completing the course you should be able to: Understand the role of a game designer within a game design project Motivate different perspectives on games and use of games, both from practical and ethical aspects Discuss game design features explicitly using both de facto industry concepts and academic frameworks Pitch game design concepts for an audience Relate current game designs to earlier examples, from the direct predecessors to the first recorded examples
4 Learning Objectives, cont. Further, after the course you should also be able to: Plan game design projects according to best practice descriptions Develop a game design concept from initial idea to a full game design concept, using iterative design processes and prototyping Specify target audiences and develop game design concepts for these Analyze different game design using analytical tools to be able to Suggest design changes and Compare different game designs
5 Aims of the course Focus on Game Design Not Implementation Not Graphics Not Sound Not Project Management Not Business Models Not IPR Gameplay Design Interaction Design Game Design All types of games not only computer games
6 Aims of the course, cont. Counter-part to Simulation i Engines Game Designer is the natural step from Lead Programmer But also an area with strong aspects of interaction design Working efficiently as programmer g y p g requires understanding of game design

11 General Structure Several small assignments Two individual Two in groups Three exercises Training in pitching Low Fidelity Play Testing A lot of writing Train communication & argumentation Seek & use references Expected to play & discuss games Supervision is to help with projects and with writing But no exam
12 General Structure, cont. Parts of the Course History of Games Famous Game Designers Analyzing Games Narratives & Games Designing Games Communicating Design Ideas Games & Education The Book Use chapters Use exercises during lectures
13 Why is Game Design important? The core of a game Still underdeveloped area Interaction Design Improve game industry Current knowledge Licenses Sequels Work from good game designers
14 A Word about Simulations Course Focus on Games Interaction Design most distinguishable in that area Applicable in many other areas Encouraging g behaviors Balancing users Steering activities Adjusting activity to player actions

24 What is a Game?
25 Definitions i i of Games
26 D. Parlett Game historian i with focus on board games, word games, and card games. Distinguishes between informal and formal games. puppies play playing around sandbox play means & ends Has a winner every game is its rules Parlett, D. The Oxford History of Board Games, 1999.
27 C. C. Abt...a game is an activity among two or more independent decisionmakers seeking to achieve their objectives in some limiting context. Abt, C. C. Serious Games, 1970
28 J. Huizinga [Play is] a free activity standing quite consciously outside ordinary life as being not serious, but at the same time absorbing the player intensely and utterly. It is an activity connected with no material interest, and no profit can be gained by it. It proceeds within its own proper boundaries of time and space according to fixed rules and in an orderly manner. It promotes the formation of social groupings, which tend to surround themselves with secrecy and to stress their difference from the common world by disguise or other means. Huizinga, J. Homo Magic Circle Ludens, 1938
29 R. Caillois Free Separate in time and space Uncertain Unproductive creates no goods or wealth Governed by rules Categories Competition [Agôn] Chance [Alea] Make-Believe [Mimicry] Vertigo [Ilinx] Callois, R. Man, Play and Games, 2001
30 C. Crawford A closed formal system that subjectively represents a subset of reality. Interactive representation (the cause-effect relationship) Conflict (obstacles that challenge the goal pursuit) Safety (psychological experience of danger, without the physical realization thereof) Crawford, C. The Art of Computer Game Design
31 B. Suits To play a game is to engage in activity i directed towards bringing about a specific state of affairs, using only means permitted by rules, where rules prohibit more efficient in favour of less efficent means and where such rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity. or playing a game is the voluntary effort to overcome unnecessary obstacles. Grasshopper: Games, Life, and Utopia, 1990
32 G. Costikyan A game is a form of art in which h participants, named players, make decisions in order to manage resources through game tokens in the pursuit of a goal. From: Costikyan G IHaveno From: Costikyan, G. I Have no Words and I Must Design
33 E. Avedon & B. Sutton-Smith Games are an exercise of voluntary control systems, in which h there is a contest between powers, confined by rules in order to produce a disequilibrial outcome. From: Avedon, E. & Sutton-Smith, B. The Study of Games
34 K. Salen & E. Zimmerman A game is a system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome. Game design is the process by which a game designer creates a game, to be encountered by a player, from which meaningful play emerges. From: Salen, C. & Zimmerman, E. Rules of Play
35 J. Juul 1. Rules 2. Variable, quantifiable outcome 3. Value assigned to possible outcomes (+ -) 4. Player effort 5. Player attached to outcome (game contract) 6. Negotiable consequences A game is a rule-based formal system with a variable and quantifiable outcome, where different outcomes are assigned different values, the player exerts effort in order to influence the outcome, the player feels attached to the outcome, and the consequences of the activity are optional and negotiable.
36
37 J. Juul, cont. Transmedial Games not bound to a specific media Some games are implemented on several different media
38 J. von Neumann & O. Morgenstern Theory of rational behavior for interactive ti decision problems. In a game, several agents strive to maximize their (expected) utility index by choosing particular courses of action, and each agent's final utility payoffs depend on the profile of courses of action chosen by all agents. The interactive situation, specified by the set of participants, i t the possible courses of action of each agent, and the set of all possible utility payoffs, is called a game; the agents 'playing' a game are called the players. From: Von Neumann, J. & Morgenstern, O. Theory of Games and Economic Behavior
39 T. Fullerton, C. Swain & S. Hoffman A closed formal system Engages players in structured conflict Resolves in an unequal outcome From: Fullerton, T., Swain, C. & Hoffman, S. Game Design Workshop
40 Assignment 1 What is a Game?
41 Assignment 1 What is a Game? word argumentation for your personal definition of what games are. An individual assignment due in 1 week Learning outcomes Reflect on your personal view on what a game is, and how others may differ in their opinion Wit Write argumentative ti texts t where you take one position with motivations and argue against possible objections Compare games that belong to different categorizes to analyze the common features and differences between genres and mediums of games
42 Assignment 1, cont. Requirements One sentence definition Comparison to the definitions presented today Answer the following questions Is weight lifting a game? Is Sudoku a game? Is Roulette a game? Russian roulette? Is a game played if two computer programs met each other in Chess over the net? Examples & counter-examples of things that fit the definition (besides weight lifting, Sudoku & Roulette) Reflect on how your definition of games affects the role of a game designer (e.g. what must be emphasized)
