CS679,
Today in class we are going to spend some time using our new game design vocabulary to analyze two different games, Braid and Defcon.
To prepare for class please:
1. Download and install the free demos for both games
-Defcon is available from http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/ for mac/pc
-Braid is available by installing steam at http://store.steampowered.com/app/26800/
Unfortunately, you will need to establish a steam account to download the demo. I tried some other ways but this seems to be the best, even if not optimal approach that is legal.
2. Remember to Bring your laptop!
We will be playing each game for about 20 each and using our design vocabulary to analyze and critique the design.
If you happen to feel compelled to play games before coming in, feel free, but 20 minutes each should give us enough time to talk intelligently about them.
Looking forward to class!
