Let’s Play Chess●Find the one-move solution to this chess problem

Let’s Play Chess●How much time did it take?● How much time it would subsequent attempts take?

●Gives us basic terminology ●The player perceives the aesthetics built by the
dynamics made out of mechanics●The designer designs mechanics which result in
dynamics with certain aesthetics
Mechanics, Dynamics & AestheticsBy Robin Hunicke, Marc LeBlanc, Robert Zubek

Mechanics
●Base components of a game
●Rules
●Every basic action the player takes

Dynamics
●The run-time behavior of the mechanics
●New dynamics may emerge from different combinations of mechanics
● Implicitly designed

●Emotional responses evoked in the player
●Hard to design
●The most important part of the player experience
Aesthetics

●Clever design could result in emergent gameplay
●Gives the game high replayability at low cost

●Loops are a set of actions which the player repeatedly takes and receives feedback from the game
●Arcs are broken loops

●The player starts with a mental model ●The model conditions the player to take an action●The game system returns feedback to the player●The feedback causes an emotional response
Loops

●A broken loop ●One time actions●Links material in complex feedback
