Concept

• Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

• Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Fun and Education• Game structure

1. Present situation that involves an economic concept

2. Challenge the guest• Make the guest a little frustrated• Make them want a solution badly

3. Place the knowledge where they can find it

4. Reward!• A moment of empowerment

Page 7: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Reward Structure

• FUN = Frequent Rewards• Minor rewards

– Earning money– Buying new equipment

• Major rewards– Realizing trends– Finding a new concept– Increasing skill and knowledge

Page 8: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Intended Audience

• Students in a classroom & casual players

Page 9: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Metrics for Success

• Helps students grasp some of the most difficult concepts in introductory economics– Give them a quiz afterwards

• People want to play it– Would you rather learn from our

game, or from lectures and textbooks?

What we learned…

• Things to include– It needs to be clear that your actions affect

others– Goal is simple, but way to get there is not– Have something interesting to do every turn– Allow players many different strategies

• Things to avoid– Conflict between story and mechanics– Players feeling disenfranchised too early– Too much randomness

Foundation – It’s Alive!!!

What is the Supply Chain?

RawMaterials SteelRubber

GiantRobots

Oil

FlyingCars

Copper

PlasticsTires

Silicon

Microprocessors

Smart BombsOtherInputs

OR Legs

IntermediateProducts

ConsumerProducts

Page 55: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Theme

• Why is theme important?• Things we want in a theme

– Supply chain must make sense– End products don’t just disappear– Resources come from somewhere– Classroom friendly– Promote both cooperation and

competition– Allow for more than one winner

Page 56: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Theme Research

• Themes we have considered– Arms dealing– Colonization of Mars– Capitalism– Burger King vs. McDonalds– Space Race

Page 57: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

7 Milestones• Milestone 1

– Research•DONE!

• Milestone 2– Make a foundation without

networking•DONE!

• Milestone 3– Discuss potential scenarios– Decide which ones to do– Choose the first scenario to develop

Page 58: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

7 Milestones

• Milestone 4– Complete the first scenario using our

foundation•Make an emergent phenomenon•Guest discovers it•Guest finds “solution”

• Milestone 5– Create a new codebase:

•network code•nice interface•game art

Page 59: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

7 Milestones

• Milestone 6– Re-implement Milestone 4 in the

new codebase

• Milestone 7– Add several scenarios with game art

Page 60: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Guest Testing

• David Lamont’s Executive Education

• ETC Students & Faculty• Friends and Family• CMU Economic & Business

Students

Page 61: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Schedule

Page 62: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Budget

Page 63: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Archiving

• Perforce– Code

• Randon– Documentation

• Touchscreen– Themed description of project

• Website– www.gamenomics.com

Biggest Risks

• Classroom vs. Casual• Reward structure doesn’t work• Instead of a game, we end up

with a framework or demo that could be used to make a completed game

• But the biggest risk of all is…

Page 65: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Game Design!

Page 66: Concept Create a fun networked multiplayer business simulation game that can be educational both inside and outside the classroom.

Things we could use help with

• Theme• Technical Suggestions:

– GUI packages

• Guest Testing• Dinner

Thank You.
