Concept development in game design

We have a guest lecturer, Björn Johannesen (Seatribe). Among other things, he's responsible for Salem (http://www.salemthegame.com/) och Haven & Hearth (http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/).

------------------

Here's todays presentation and here's the info on Bitsquid. Particularly important (I guess) are the groups. Make sure you contact everyone in your group so you can get a head start. On Tuesday you'll get a chance to present some of your ideas for projects to Rikard Blomberg and get a little bit of feedback. So in preparation for that we ask you to:

For Tuesday, Nov 12

• In your assigned groups, start to discuss and develop three general game ideas.

• Reflect on (a) gameplay aspects and (b) technology requirements of each.

For the diary

• Play any of Seatribe’s two games:

Salem http://www.salemthegame.com/

or

Haven & Hearth http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/.

• Describe and present it. Analyse it. What is it? What type of game? Mechanics? Game play? Tech? Players? Business case? Competitors? You pick.
