Description

Situational Game Design by CRC Press presents a transformative approach to videogame design that prioritises player experience over formal systems. This book introduces a practical methodology for creating playful situations by examining how games intersect with players to produce meaningful engagement. Rather than treating games as isolated systems, it explores playfulness as an emergent property arising from the relationship between game mechanics and player interaction. Starting from foundational concepts, the book progressively builds a comprehensive toolkit of design principles and practical techniques. Designed for both aspiring and experienced game designers, it offers fresh perspectives on common design challenges and equips readers with player-centric strategies for crafting compelling gaming experiences that resonate with target audiences.
