Meaningful Decisions & Opposition

"Meaningful Decisions & Opposition" focuses on the opposition portion of the Game Design Framework and how it impacts decisions.

In this module we discuss the necessity of opposition and how it gives players meaningful decision-making. Opposition in games manifests in both player and designer created opposition.

We want students to walk away understanding that fast problem-solving iteration cycles are essential when designing games, what good "flow states" look like in games, and how "core game loops" increase immersion for players.
