Introduction to game design 2009
Posted by Celia Walter | 21 May, 2009'Introduction to Game Design 2009' is a university module, in the form of 22 free audio files (as MP3 & MP4 podcasts) covering all aspects of videogame development and production. The approach is broadly from a Cultural Studies perspective, closely informed by an understanding of the technical issues involved. The audio files include the notable videogame theorist Jesper Juul talking on 'Analysing Games, Rules and Narrative'. The audio appears to be part of a module taught by Janne Paavilainen, based at the Finnish Hypermedia Laboratory at the University of Tampere in Finland (aka Hypermedialaboratorio, aka Hyper Media Lab). Audio files are freely available in English, with the length varying between 30 minutes and one hour for each file. This will be a useful resource for anyone interested in a technical-cultural approach to the study of videogame design. From Intute.ac.uk
