Choose your game development tools, a framwork dedicated to building games (not just say 3D media or simulation). Start seraching for [tool options her](tasks/loe.en.shtml). Different project can have different amount of focus on tech. vs game design. However, all projects must include a complete game experiences. Using a less complex technical engine means you need to spend more time on the game design, and with a clone project (where you are remaking a well-known game type, you need to spend more time of progression/variation and teching visuals and effect). Design/usability in this course: * game mechanichs and game mechnical focus * pick-up and play, * Good controlls and intuitive game play * progression and variation, * game-teaching visuals and feedback **part of the game experience** (Note: This is not tutorials or instructions).
