Game Design 3+4 @APR Making it in Real Time

Day 3 Process:

With the materials provided, everyone works together in their group to begin laying out the structure of the game and its environment. Use construction paper shapes to help cover your board and create structure quickly - once the main structures are laid out, then more sophisticated details can be added. 

***Remember, playability is more important then your game being pretty***


Here is the teaching artists + admin team's version after 1 @45 minute session:


Here you can see details starting to be added, and the next layer of clarity about how to play the game being added as well. There are now clear spaces, distinct moods for each world and an X marks the spot where players pick up essential life experiences they will need before they can enter the NYC floating in the middle (where we all came from, and where we all have met).

Day 4 Process:

Game pieces, cards, dice etc will be available to give your games a test drive - all final details need to be worked out and a page of rules must be finished for us to begin playing your games without you for our culminating session next week.
