Games can make their money many ways, but how do these models affect, intentionally or not, the design choices of the game makers themselves? What about the players? Do you play a game differently depending on how you paid for it? Free to play, pay once, subscription, or silly hats, what do these different models mean to games at their core? Only ten rupees; hopefully you won't have to pay the door repair charge. We (Rym and Scott of GeekNIghts: www.frontrowcrew.com) presented this first at PAX...

Recordings from GDS207 class 1 Be aware that these are stereo recordings. If we were using these in a game would they be stereo or mono sound files? Or could they be either? In a film the action the sound is designed for is set and will be the same each time, but in interactive media such as a game the action depends on the player and will likely be different each time. What would need to be different about how the source sound files are handled for interactive media? If we used some of this...

The games that enjoy breakout success are typically built on a wide range of key factors. Developers of a hit game may focus on as many as ten fundamental features, but once they release the title, gamers naturally find a deeper appeal through the process of playing through the game. While progressing through the title, the gamer experiences an increasing level of enjoyment, the most critical fundamental factor of game design. Based on his experiences creating groundbreaking hits like Pac-Man...

Our educational system is broken. It is based on a model that was designed for a time before the combustion engine, much less the personal computer or the Internet. Games inherently challenge us to use the skills children will need in the 21st century: Teamwork, Lateral Thinking, Systemic Problem Solving, Creativity. They’re also a solution that scales (it costs as much to build a game for 1 user as for 10,000,000) which is important in our cash starved educational system. So how do we...
