Game design, serious games, and game development processes
week 2
For this week we had a guest lecture who really helped open up my idea of games as I always assumed that games were just for entertainment, not that there's anything wrong with that but I never believed they could serve another purpose. We were introduced to the idea of applied games and how they can solve problems for the user or client. I believe that this lecture was quite beneficial for our understanding of games and how we can potentially design our own games which is also part of our project for this semester; Furthermore I quite enjoyed the fact that he had mentioned that in definition success for apple games it was more on the impact it had on its target audience and validation coming from them rather than just the idea of revenue. After this lecture it really made me consider the fact that we should be incorporating more games in our learning/teaching environment and allow it to serve as a different way of education.
