541 Design Assignment Teams & Schedule
Assignment:
Using the core mechanics (i.e. player negotiation) of Settlers as a starting point, come up with a new game and create a working physical prototype.
--You must change the basic premise.
--You may add or change any other elements as well (board, objectives, resources, etc.)
--You must state a specific design goal.
--Your game must be a much shorter experience than Settlers: It should take approximately 15-20 minutes to play.
--I mentioned a maximum of 4 players in class, but we can work with a larger number of players as long as the game can be played with the number of people we have available in class and resolves in 15-20 minutes.
Schedule
--During weeks 3-4 we will play test and give feedback on your games.
--Teams will then re-design based on that feedback.
--In the final week of the games module, teams will bring back their revised games for a final play test.
Schedule for weeks 3-4 is:
September 7, 3:30-5:30PM @ the IML

-- Jorge & Mike B.
-- Garrett & Matt
September 12th, regular class time
