Temporal and Spatial Combinatorics in Games for Design (2015)
article⁄Temporal and Spatial Combinatorics in Games for Design (2015)
abstract⁄This paper will outline the techniques and language that games use to give design agency to a player. By identifying the discrete combinatorial ontology of games, as opposed to a continuous postrationalistic approach from general design tools, we hope to develop a framework for the design of ‘games for design’, or sandboxes that allow players to develop an output that is unexpected to the game developer and contingent to a player. This research has been the foundation for the development of Block’hood, a citybuilding video game that explores ideas of ecology and generative urbanism.
