Matt Stark is speaking at the following session/s
Viewfinding: From Mechanic to Game
Design
After a video of my experimental game mechanic went viral in 2020, I started creating a game around the mechanic. This game would eventually become Viewfinder. In this talk I’ll be discussing the process of building a game around a single mechanic, and the various design challenges we faced in turning Viewfinder’s picture mechanic into a game.
Session Takeaway
- How to approach the challenge of creating a game from a single mechanic
- How to investigate and account for the strengths and weaknesses of a game mechanic
- How to build upon a game mechanic, creating gameplay and supporting mechanics
