While most game design books focus on games as formal systems, Situational Design concentrates squarely on player experience. It looks at how playfulness is not a property of a game considered in isolation, but rather the result of the intersection of a game with an appropriate player. Starting from simple concepts, the book advances step-by-step to build up a set of practical tools for designing player-centric playful situations. While these tools provide a fresh perspective on familiar design challenges as well as those overlooked by more transactional design paradigms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduces a new methodology of game design that concentrates on moment-to-moment player experience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides practical design heuristics for designing playful situations in all types of games\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eOffers groundbreaking techniques for designing non-interactive play spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eTeaches designers how to create games that function as performances\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides a roadmap for the evolution of games as an art form.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrian Upton\u003c\/strong\u003e is 20-year veteran of the game industry.　 He was one of the founders of Red Storm Entertainment where he designed the original \u003ci\u003eRainbow Six\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGhost Recon\u003c\/i\u003e.　 From 2002 to 2016 he worked as a senior game designer at Sony's Santa Monica Studio, where he collaborated with external teams on innovative indie titles such as \u003ci\u003eFat Princess\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWarhawk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSorcery\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEverybody Has Gone to the Rapture, Bound,　\u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Here They Lie.\u003c\/i\u003e　 He currently is lead world designer at Tangent Games.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 119\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 31, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738335219775,"sku":"9781138031814","price":124.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e3e8519207cdb9ef279dfaab4b1863f6.webp?v=1765152960","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/situational-game-design-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
