Abstract

While human beings are very capable of designing everyday games, it becomes a different story if a more complex game needs to be thought of. The design process is especially complex for games that attempt to be meaningful about a particular aspect of reality. To give the needed experience and the specific knowledge and skills for designing these so-called serious games, the Serious Game Design Workshop was setup. During this hands-on workshop participants work on designing concepts and not on the technology or aesthetics. To structure the workshop and to enable participants to get experience with a certain technique or approach, the workshop makes use of the Triadic Game Design approach.
