Paper Abstract:
|
The field of digital games studies is still coming to terms with the multiplicity of its approaches; in particular, there are still few attempts at linking theoretical and practical perspectives on the subject matter. On that note, the paper at hand argues that (rapid) prototyping, a common technique in the production of digital games as well as a number of other industries, could usefully complement text-based research into digital games and, albeit not for all types of problems, can lead to the playful generation of new ideas and arguments. |
