Consequently, two highly significant game design theorists with established fundamental elements of games are discussed.
With critically understanding the elements, this chapter provides categorizing various existing game elements into established fundamental elements. Henceforth, it demonstrates a clearer overview of how game design elements can be categorized and applied. Future recommendations are also discussed. Game Design and Intelligent Interaction.
Over the past decade, educational games EG and game-based learning BGL have become more common as a tool for learning and educational deliverance, as opposed to pure entertainment, which has gained immense popularity. Digital games are developed to be consumed through smartphones, computers, tablets, etc. GBL utilizes an appropriate set of game mechanics the rules of EG , provides freedom for learners to recreate scenarios without having a fear of adverse reactions, and provides a problem-oriented learning process to allow learners achieve learning goals in the EG [ 6 ].
Although the research has managed to accomplish a large range of EGs that has delivered its function successfully, there have been many EGs that have reported to be a failure or unsuccessful. It is definite that game designers do not create replicas of the games that are well-recognized. Therefore, recent articles have addressed the rise in tension between stakeholders game designers, teachers, developers, learners, students, players involved in designing an EG and what causes the failure.
In addition to that, designing EG requires multiple consideration of multiple stakeholders such as game designers, developers, educators, teachers, and software engineers. Game-based learning GBL has been defined by identifying its principles and mechanisms [ 9 ]. Mechanisms include rules, clear but challenging goals, fantasy, progressive levels of difficulty, interactivity, player control, uncertainty, feedback, and a social element. This study focuses on the definition of GBL defined by Perrotta [ 9 ] as it involves game mechanics that are related to game design aspects.
This may be due to a little consensus between researchers and among teachers as to how games could be used for educational purposes. GBL is specifically designed to teach specific concepts or to strengthen competencies. There exists a broad scope of games including digital and non-digital ones [ 1 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. Understanding the game design is a complex job.
Game design GD is defined as a variety of game design elements and learning theories that establish and define an EG. For example, design elements include goals, the game mechanism rules , interaction, freedom, the narrative, challenges, motivational attributes, and also interactive problem-solving.
Similarly, GD is equipped with learning characteristic that adds the value of providing a good learning experience to the learners. The innovative learning approach derived from EG possesses educational values or even different kinds of software applications that compile into knowledgeable aspects such as teaching enhancement, assessments, and evaluation of learner [ 18 ].
With that, the discussion on how game design elements can be categorized and the need of reducing the duplication of elements that already exist is discussed. Lastly, future direction and recommendations provide an understanding of the current approach in research for game designers, teachers, educators, and software engineers. Players choose from the choices they experience in real-world and learn from those actions and feedback provided by the game, leading to an interactive learning experience.
It is comprised of play, pedagogy, and fidelity whilst discussing theoretical grounds on constructivism; however, the paper clearly demonstrates the overarching challenges faced in order to combine interdisciplinary element and the nature of the game. The framework does embark towards the idea of combining multiple disciplines to provide a guideline for educators and game designers to visualize game design process based on three major elements of designing games; the framework needs to provide testing and evaluating procedures to inform how it can be used whilst the game is undergoing a process of design.
Another study provided a conceptual framework for adapting collaborative multiplayer games by adopting the concept of multiplayer games and gameplay design principles [ 22 ].
First, it is built on an existing model of players to provide insights into the audience, and then, it develops a typology of gameplay themes to help designers with conceptualizing actions on the screen. Finally, it provides a framework with five main game design components, namely, learning objectives, story, 3D world, gameplay, and evaluation.
Recently, two highly sophisticated types of research were published on game designing. The first research proposes a hybrid theoretical framework that analyses a few existing design models, the learning theories embedded in them, and the user experience component [ 14 ]. Not only that, the model includes a pedagogical approach and learning theories.
Despite an immense study conducted, it is still a work in progress, and the model needs to be verified or validated through the designers and developers to ensure its practicality, and also the genre of games is serious; hence, the confusion on understanding educational games and serious games is still ambiguous.
Another recently published work on proposing an architecture of serious game design and assessing the technology establishes through emphasizing the engaging and motivating needs of game design through knowledge of learning domain [ 23 ]. Along with that, pedagogy and game design components and their collaboration between domain content and pedagogical and playful experts lead the architecture to propose a taxonomy, representing a functional architecture for supporting the conceptual design of the game.
With the help of the architecture designed, the paper reports that modification of decisions of the educational robot with affecting a game, and responding to new updates to improve games or even reusability of the educational robot with the newly designed game, is beneficial through the domain content where playful experts share the design requirements. The lens describes the concepts through which the design decisions are approached in terms of skill levels, mechanics, aesthetics, story, and also the technological composition in industry.
With the lenses unfolding the designing process for designers, the discussion of each chapter unfolds from designer to experience through the game and the player, and the effort of embedding each lens into a mind map throughout the book has provided an in-depth understanding to basics of the designing process.
For example, Lens 32 The Meaning Choices p. Not only those, Lens 89 The Team p. Consequently, the fundamental elements of a game where game designers should focus on are formed in the beginning of the design process. With the four basic elements, each of which creates a specific experiential flow defined in Table 1. The four basic elements of games and their definition, adapted from [ 7 ]. To explain Figure 1 , it is crucial to mention that there is no element developed independently.
They all interrelate with each other, despite the type of game being designed. For example, when you choose a set of mechanics as crucial to your gameplay, you will need to choose technology that can support them, aesthetics that emphasize them clearly to players, and a story that allows your sometimes strange game mechanics to make sense to the players.
Consequently, choosing mechanics that make players feel like they are in the world is related to defining aesthetics. A story with a set of events lets your aesthetics emerge at the right place and have the most impact. Like any storyteller, you will want to choose aesthetics that help reinforce the ideas of your story and technology that is best suited to the particular story that will come out of your game.
The technology is essentially the medium in which the aesthetics take place, in which the mechanics will occur, and through which the story will be told. The Elemental Tetrad adapted by [ 7 ]. The mind map includes 30 bubbles to represent new element emerging from each chapter, and lenses provided can be a very overwhelming information for the game designing team, who needs an urgent answer to the problem-solving or iterative approach. Despite the content list provided, it is noticeable to be confused with some identifications of the lens names.
To conclude, a creative involvement of game systems and the player works along to endorse the experience, whilst addressing crucial organizational perspective in relevance to software development methods such as spiral model, rapid prototyping, and playtesting. The Educational Game Design Fundamentals by an educator, game designer, founder, director, and board member of several European design studios presents a comprehensive how-to guide on design and building world-class educational experiences [ 8 ].
Although rules are elaborated on their own entirety pp. Kalmpourtzis highlights that game designers have the magical power to deal with challenging tasks during the educational game design process. Hence, referring to his magical triangle p. Explaining that games consisted of objects and placing the objects as elements to be implemented in the game lead to the betterment of gameplay p.
In the same context, the perspective discussed that prototyping is a key element of game design, evaluating what has been completed theoretically as well as practically. Nevertheless, Kalmpourtzis highlights that interdisciplinary game design is always the most challenging aspects, i. In relation to structuring and prototyping the fastest and easiest way , there is an evaluation of game strategies discussed which were rather general and have been published in the previous article as well [ 24 ].
All the elements are interrelated with learning aspects that are required to be broken down as educational game design is being implemented. He explains the crucial role of educators and their experience related to pedagogical approaches and learning theories. He examines prominent learning theories such as behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism.
Therefore, Figure 2 shows the extension of elemental Tetrad to Elemental Pentad. A representation of the elemental Pentad adapted from [ 8 ]. Evaluating games using usability, playtesting, and quality assurance approaches can highly coexist with software engineering approaches.
