Gaming 357 News - New Game Sketching

Created at Carnegie Mellon university in Adelaide, Australia, by students, game sketching is designed to supplant game elements that usually take months of design work.

"This is a technology that is useful for companies that are exploring new intellectual properties and new games," said John Buchanan, Director of Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center.

"These techniques are also applicable to interactive web technologies - anything where the design involves the interaction of a user, where you want to understand what the experience of being in that space, or that world, is."

"We are often far too busy building stuff to take the time out to think... we believe that establishing a culture of game sketching will enable teams within the industry to explore new ideas in a fun, cheap and risk-free manner."

"The use of game sketching allows experimentation with little risk," Mr Buchanan explained.
"We give managers with tight budgets a tool with which their employees can explore new ideas at minimal cost."
