Practical Game Design and Development Pedagogy

摘要

During Drexel University's Game Development Workshops, several recurring observations about student tendencies have influenced the workshops' structure and focus regarding game design foundations and development agendas. Originally, the game-design part of the workshops leveraged previously taught basic game theory, gameplay critique, and nonlinear-story skills. Now, it also addresses vaguely envisioned student game concepts and pitches. The game-development part of the workshops, which has employed agile development, is now structured to guide students with little experience in long-term project planning.
