Description
Situational Game Design by Brian Upton provides a new approach to designing videogames that focuses on player experience. This methodology looks at how playfulness arises from the interaction between a game and an appropriate player, rather than as a property of the game itself. The book offers practical design heuristics for creating playful situations in various types of games, as well as techniques for designing non-interactive play spaces. It also teaches designers how to craft games that function as performances, providing a roadmap for the evolution of games as an art form. By introducing a fresh perspective on game design, Situational Game Design offers valuable insights for game developers and designers looking to create more engaging player experiences.
