INDEX, 117
Situational Game Design lays out a new methodology for designing and
critiquing videogames. While most game design books focus on games as
formal systems, Situational Game Design concentrates squarely on player
experience. It looks at how playfulness is not a property of a game con-
sidered in isolation, but rather the result of the intersection of a game with
an appropriate player. Starting from simple concepts, the book advances
step-by-step to build up a set of practical tools for designing player-centric
playful situations, While these tools provide a fresh perspective on familiar
design challenges as well as those overlooked by more transactional design
paradigms,
Key Features:
• Introduces a new methodology of game design that concentrates
on moment-to-moment player experience
• Provides practical design heuristics for designing playful situations
in all types of games
• Offers groundbreaking techniques for designing non-interactive
play spaces
• Teaches designers how to create games that function
as performances
• Provides a roadmap for the evolution of games as an art form
