Game Design Prototyping Workshop: Brainstorming and Designing Collaborative and Creative Game Prototypes with Immersive Surfaces

Abstract

This short paper provides a short theoretical exposition of game prototyping, a discussion of available game prototyping software and typical challenges in designing games for educational purposes, and practical examples of game design workshops. In these workshops, the participants developed their own open-ended game ideas and related immersive environments in groups of three or four over half a day or longer.
