Games can be ice-breakers !!

Pictionary TopicsDifferent ways to play this game. To come up with new ideas, think about what

that the players have in common / shared experiences.

TIPS:Friends from college can create cards

representing major landmarks in their college towns.

High school buddies can make cards based on their favorite songs from the good old days.

Games can be ice-breakers !!

Being Creative within Constraints – As game developers, resources are limited.

Boundary conditions have to be checked. (e.g. Racing Car CAN NOT go beneath the race

track! ) Reality within Virtuality- Very important especially while simulating real

world environments. (e.g. Collisions need to simulated. GPUs are good )

DESIGNING CREATIVE GAMES

Randomness so important !(e.g. Don’t want to take the fun away and have

walkthroughs. (Hitman) )

Artificial Intelligence – Use AI in games like Formula 1 Racing

allowing very real experience.
