You're all expert gamers. But the language of gaming is only half the picture.
Mechanics and Metrics is a module that continues your journey from player perspectives to producer perspectives. We'll examine several theoretical perspectives from 'game studies' (the academic field discussing games) and invite you to say what you agree with, what you disagree with and why.
In the practical sessions we'll be putting our theories into practice by examining game testing, game balancing, research methods and, eventually, game production. You'll not just be able to make a game with strong mechanics and well-tested metrics, but you'll also be able to say why it is strong.
