Game Design Project

Summary

The simulation game design project offers conceptual insights as well as hands on experience with simulation-gaming (SG). SG is an established field of practice with proven value for instance in the field of spatial and urban planning, ecology, engineering and design, public administration, business management, learning, research and consultancy. The staggering growth and success of the video gaming industry has triggered the interest in simulation games - from paper based games to video games for learning and policy making - even more. Besides creativity and enthusiasm, there are no entry requirements. In this course, students acquire advanced knowledge in, and experience with, designing simulation games for serious use, i.e. for policy- and decision support, organization and management and professional learning.
