P4K Grow A Game — Presentation Transcript

Value-Centric Game Design Grow A Game Workshop

“If games can’t communicate ideas, then why does he care who buys them?” (from: http://www.penny arcade.com/comic/2002/04/26) May 6, 2002 | quot;[There is] no conveyance of ideas, expression, or anything else that could possibly amount to free speech. The court ﬁnds that video games have more in common with board games and sports than they do with motion pictures.” -- U.S. District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Sr (decision overturned in 2003)

Four categories in “Grow a Game” cards: Verbs Challenges Games Values

1. Now, I’ll draw one blue and one pink card + 2. Let’s brainstorm a game that could use the constraints of the Game on the pink card with the blue Value

Now for the real challenge We’ll draw 1 Challenge Card for everyone to use.

1. Break up into groups of 3 or 4 and draw new Game (pink) and Verb (green cards. + + 2. Now each group should use it’s own verb card and game card together with the Challenge card everyone is using to design a game mod
