GGJ Workshop: D&D Game Design Workshop

Most video games have a story: not only Role-playing games. In this workshop, we will approach story building and game design to maximize engagement for players, and simplify the design of a video game’s mechanics. To do this, Professor Carla Heggie and Dr. Christian Blouin will draw from experience designing and playing table-top role playing games. They will also approach this from a player’s perspective, especially on how player finding gamey loopholes can break immersion. Unlike a tabletop game where players aren’t trying to break a game, the rules are really different for a video game.
