Learn how to “Harness the Power of Play” with your team.
The Game Beyond is a workshop in Game Design given by Gabe Mac. This workshop is designed to tap into the natural game play habits of the participants: giving a deeper understanding of the art of game design by using a model that allows for the design of a variety of games to overcome real world challenges. The workshop itself is a game designed to get the participants in a flow of collaborative innovation and rapid prototyping.
“This takes the BS out of Gamification.”
This workshop's Game Design Curriculum is based on over a decade of teaching at the College of Arts of Utrecht, Design for Virtual Theater and Games. The model has been applied to develop a variety of award winning games and marketing campaigns. After participating in the workshop, attendees will have a base knowledge in making more effective Gamification strategies. Attendees will understand how to use game mechanics, feedback loops and rule sets to design customised gamification to targeted groups. At the end of workshop, a number of prototype game strategies are designed.
“This workshop is the equivalent to the first semester of a Game Design Master’s program, in a few hours.”
