Teaching “Applied” Game Design

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is common for student and entertainment game designers to have a prejudice towards serious games, because the goals of a serious game seem to compromise the designer’s ability to design a “fun” game. However, applied game design may present an opportunity for design innovation and design that is “more than fun”. This paper addresses an approach used to educate game designers about serious game design, which combines theory and conceptual design tools to help minimize the complexities of serious game design and maximize the creative freedom of the serious game designer.
