Process

of our game design...

The Explornesia Trilogy is an outcome of our Game Design course at the University of Madeira. The whole process from ideation to delivery just took only four weeks to complete. During this time we developed three different games based on three different mediums: A traditional TABLETOP BOARD GAME, A DIGITAL game and HYBRID game which encompasses both tabletop and digital aspects. Each game have its own unique storyline, mechanics and aesthetics.

    Design Concept

    We decided to divide the team into three groups to address the all three mediums. We came up with conceptual material such as concept art, storyline, game genres, etc.

    Paper Prototype

    Prototyping all three games in paper followed by quick iterations to adjust mechanics, aesthetics and storyline, etc.

    Development

    Began to develop the games with the insights gained from paper prototypes along with supervised feedback from our tutor Prof. Sergi Bermúdez i Badia.

    Public Playtest

    We conducted our public playtest session at the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute; All three games were playtested by 20+ participants and the sessions were very helpful in ironing out all the shortcoming of our games.
