I just gave a talk and mini workshop on prototyping games in Poznan Poland.

Here is a summary of the exercise I gave the cartography students, to create a game prototype in 20 minutes! (Well in the end they had more like 30 minutes)..

• What is the goal? Why try to reach it?
• An engaging challenge? Involves competition/mastery, chance, imitation, controlling vertigo/rush of movement/flight?
• Feedback system? Affordances, constraints; rewards, punishments?
• Levels up/advance via mechanics?
• Does it offer different strategies?
• What is learnt during or after the experience?
