Midterm: Polishing a Game

For next week, take the game you feel most confident with and polish it! This will be the game you present for midterms.

Consider:

  • Is my game fun?
  • Are the mechanics and dynamics focused? Do all rules and game bits support the central dynamic?
  • Is my game balanced? Are certain items too powerful, or not powerful enough?
  • Are my rules clear? Have someone who’s never seen your game play it.
  • If all the above are good, now is also the time to polish the physical properties and appearance.

It is generally a good idea to focus on polishing your game mechanics before you start polishing the physical appearance and creating things such as a box for your game.
