a strong game concept must not only be engaging, but also clearly articulable, feasible to develop, and capable of being completed within a set time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d-767x575.jpg 767w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/c72b8eca2953c90d74e5c1c29de2aa5d.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pitch Decks and GDDs have different purposes. A Pitch Deck is used to introduce a game and convince others to support the project, while a GDD explains how the game should be designed and developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lecture also highlighted the importance of explaining gameplay clearly. Instead of only describing the genre, we need to explain what players actually do, how they interact with the game, and what makes it interesting. The Gameplay Loop is a key part of this. It shows the player&#8217;s actions as a complete process and explains how each step connects to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1-767x575.jpg 767w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/dbc272e609d6b317e94654042c887f88-1.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important point was that the story and game play should work together. The story can motivate players to continue playing, but it should also connect to what they actually do in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development plan needs to be realistic. This means breaking features down into smaller tasks, estimating how much time they will take, and deciding what can be simplified or removed if there is not enough time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-class Assignment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Students were asked to work in groups of 2\u20133, choose a game from the options provided by the lecturer, and create a Gameplay Loop Diagram for it. Each group then presented their diagram to the rest of the class, who had to guess which game it represented based on the gameplay loop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our group was assigned Hide and Seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/acba9d8f96338c3ecc5da7c2e7f73d4a-edited.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited-1536x955.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/96cba2923af367e8ae8f0f289c4a4580-edited.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realized that making the diagram look nice is not the most important thing.

This helps me see how the story develops more clearly and makes it easier to add the dialogue and branches into the game later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-55ee9ecf-4ede-462e-b6d5-b69f066a6c91\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/SCENT-OF-A-WOMAN.docx\">SCENT OF A WOMAN<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/SCENT-OF-A-WOMAN.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-55ee9ecf-4ede-462e-b6d5-b69f066a6c91\">download the script<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"854\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/image-40-854x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/image-40-854x1024.png 854w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/image-40-250x300.png 250w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/image-40-767x920.png 767w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/yh9g25\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/91\/2026\/10\/image-40.png 874w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will document the detailed iteration process in the Game Design development section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" open><summary>Use of AI Tools<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google translate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Youdao translate<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GAMES DESIGN \/ WEEK 04 01 Game Design Document lecture This week\u2019s lecture continued from last week\u2019s discussion on pitch deck and GDD; a strong game concept must not only be engaging, but also clearly articulable, feasible to develop, and capable of being completed within a set time frame.
