Game & Play III
An elective through which you explore the principles what makes games and play contribute to interesting experiences. This through lectures and a small design project. It offered an approach that was fun and interesting to explore. Making rulesets and experiences explicit and in a daily life environment. The end result: a fully functional game of connect four at the toilet door, making the experience of the toilet less awkward and time-consuming.
In hindsight, this elective has been a very playful one, obviously. We pushed ourselves to the boundaries of what we normally wouldn’t do since it would be too weird to do. This was satisfying to do and not be too serious. On the other hand, I think we put in some professional attitude which resulted in a fun, however good worked out process and end model. Overall lesson; just do it!
