- 16. Serious Games Serious games are games whose primary goal is not entertainment but teaching, changing behavior and attitudes.
- 17. Serious Games can be categorised: • Games for Health / Exergames • Games for Resilience: mental health • Advergames (Marketing) • Politics (NGO) and culture • Military • Jobtraining • Games for Education
- 19. Advergames
- 20. Anti-Advergames
- 22. Serious Games Taxonomy Sawyer, B.; Smith, P. (19.02.2008): Serious Games Taxonomy. Washington. S. 29 ff.
- 23. How to analyse games Finding out if a game is useful for lessons
- 24. A well-designed game entices players into the “reality” of the game world and keeps them there until the goals of the game have been met (Salen & Zimmerman, 2004).
- 25. Four-Dimensional-Framework Nach de Freitas / Jarvis 2006
- 28. Game-based learning seems to be a misnomer, as the learning is not based on games, but enhanced by them. Commercial games are repurposed and modified to support curricular goals, as opposed to driving them.

- 31. Designing Games
- 33. What is Game Design?
- 35. GAME DESIGN
- 36. How games are developed • Game design basically is the development of the basis of a game – especially rules, objectives, contents and story of the game • Without interesting game design, there is no fun • A game design document („concept“) summarizes the idea and is the basis for developing the game • Mostly, paper and handicraft materials are used to check if the basic idea works (“Prototyping”)
- 39. Analysing game design • Work with a partner. • Play the game according to the instructions. • Identify the formal elements of this game: - Players: How many? Any requirements? Special knowledge, roles …? - Objective: What is the objective of the game? - Procedures: What are the required actions for play? - Rules: Any limits on player actions? Rules regarding behavior? What are they? - Challenge: What creates challenge in the game? - Fun: Is there any fun element in the game?
- 40. Game design exercise • Work in groups of three. • Write down the rules of TicTacToe. • Change the game and the rules so that three players can play TicTacToe (and it still makes sense). • Test the new game.
- 41. GAME DESIGN ELEMENTE The challenge, the rules, the objective … The story accompanying the game The part giving sense , in „Serious Games“
- 42. 5 MINUTE GAME
- 44. •4-5 people per group •Choose a topic which might be suitable for a serious game •Work on the game design concept •Result: Rough design concept: purpose, mechanics, story •Mechanics should be shown in a protoype (paper, cards …) DESIGN TEAMS
- 45. PROTOTYPING
- 46. PLAYTESTING
- 47. Lessons with game design
- 48. Competences • Game design = active work with media • Media literacy – „reading“ games and understanding production processes • Realize your own ideas in games • Project management • Teamwork – game design, texts, graphics, sound, animation, coding • Communication - feedback
- 50. Playing games http://datadealer.com/english CureRunners: App-Store or Google Play
- 51. SERIOUS GAMES • More than just entertainment • Provide a purpose and a serious topic • Enable gamers: • Experiences • Change their point of view • New approaches towards a topic • Traditionally are less expensive (less budget) • Transfer from game into reality is difficult
- 53. Why do I play the game? What’s the topic? PURPOSE
- 54. PURPOSE Data Dealer Make gamers aware of: internet security and data abuse in an ironic way CURE Runners Training of behavior: teach most important rules for sustainable approach to money
- 55. MECHANICS Was do I have to do in the game? What are the rules and the objective?
- 56. Data Dealer • Collect • Trade • Expand CURE Runners • Run (against time) • Collect • Assess MECHANICS
- 57. STORY What is the story around the game?
- 58. Data Dealer In Data Dealer players take on the role of unscrupulous "data dealers", collect personal data all over the internet, and learn how to turn this information into cash. They run all kinds of companies and online ventures - from dating sites and mobile apps to search engines and their own social web. On the way to becoming the world's most powerful data tycoon, they obtain data from a variety of sources – whether legal or illegal - and ruthlessly sell it to insurance companies, human resources departments or governmental agencies. Their growing data empires have to be defended against hackers, complaining citizens, critical media and pesky privacy activists. STORY
- 59. CURE Runners CURE Runners is an exciting story centred on the mysterious elixir CURE. In the contaminated deserts of "the Zone", the industrial plants of Rayne City and jungle dens, players must prove their prowess, learn to deal with scare CURE reserves and reveal Raynecoat Corporation's real plans.

Editor's Notes
- #19: HopeLab conducted an international, multicenter randomized controlled trial to gauge the efficacy of Re-Mission as it relates to compliance with prescribed chemotherapy and antibiotic treatments, cancer-related knowledge, and self-efficacy. The study enrolled 375 cancer patients aged 13–29 at 34 medical centers in the United States, Canada, and Australia. Subjects received either computers pre-loaded with a popular commercial video game (the control group) or computers preloaded with the same control game plus Re-Mission. Study results indicated that playing Re-Mission led to more consistent treatment adherence, faster rate of increase in cancer knowledge, and faster rate of increase in self-efficacy in young cancer patients. These findings were published in August 2008 in the peer-reviewed medical journal Pediatrics. Notably, to ascertain treatment compliance, researches used objective blood tests to measure levels of prescribed chemotherapy in the bodies of study participants rather than subjective self-report questionnaires, and electronic pill-cap monitors were used to determine utilization of prescribed antibiotics. Researches concluded that a carefully designed video game can have a positive impact on health behavior in young people with chronic illness and that video-game–based interventions may constitute a component of a broader integrative approach to healthcare that synergistically combines rationally targeted biological and behavioral interventions to aid patients in the prevention, detection, treatment, and recovery from disease.[1]
