CIS 300: Introduction to Computer Game Design

Communication Lab 1
Game Abstract

  1. Arrange 2 tables in CL3 to form a group.
  2. As a group, review your Assignment 2 submission.
    • What's good? Bad? Challenging?
    • Give everyone a chance to express opinions.
  3. Zero on one idea on which to write a 5-sentence abstract. Things to keep in mind:
    • You might eventually change the idea.
    • The goal is to write the ABSTRACT, not the game.
  4. Make a file called WL1.txt, make your 5 sentence outline following this structure:
    1. Give short description of the game.
    2. More detail, maybe genre.
    3. Explain core gameplay. (What kind of mechanics?)
    4. Explain player experience. (Top down? Avatar? ...)
    5. Why is your idea cool?
  5. Submit your work on CMS.

Due at the end of class.
