A Few Design Distinctions

Strategy Game• Game engine• Modeling

– 2D diagrams and 3D objects

• Character Creation• Level & Strategy Design• System Integration• Game Events • Win Strategy - Objectives• Quality Assurance

– Unit & Integration Tests– Play and Usability tests

Virtual World• Virtual World Simulator• Rapid Prototyping

– 3D Game Objects

• Bots (NPCs) and Avatars• Linking Object Models

– Designing on the z Axis

• Multimedia & Animations• Rubrics - Objectives & Outcomes• QA - Change Management

– Object Behavior Tests– Integration, Play & Usability Tests
