Group term project assignment 1
“LBS Game” modification

The goal of this group term project assignment is to experiment with the possibilities in LBS game modification, and to understand the process of designing game rules, as separate from creating game “assets” or technology.

Your modified game is expected to be completed and playable, and it should be in some way dedicated to new and engaging gameplay.

First, your modification will be built on one of the LBS games you surveyed (e.g. Art of Defense, Heineken locative game, etc) or traditional board game to be modified to support LBS.

Summit the report (3~5 page) & present the modification in class on Sep 28st, 2009.

Requirements:

-New results must be devised – they can be completely new, or substantial changes to the existing rules.
-The modification must make use of the existing game “assets” – e.g., iphone, items, etc.
-Not all the game parts need to be used.
-Slight introduction of new materials (e.g. more items, different items).
-Using other kinds of mobile devices to supplement the game.
-The rules must be clear and complete, so that a stranger will be able to take them as is and play your new game (include the target audience, number of players, and an estimate of the playing time)
-Notes on game focus, development and playtesting – any issues that were revealed during playtesting; in particular, think about “is the game balanced? is it fun?”
