Read the article about The Game Design Game at this link: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_138/2968-The-Game-Design-Game Think about the article in relation to the game concept you created during our last class. This is all about critical thinking!

Questions: How would you apply Pair Programming and group dynamics to the design and implementation of your game? If you have a team, what are some of the roles the team members will have? What are some of the steps you will use to define your game in detail? For your game, identify some of the tasks you would have team members perform as you go through the design process? For example, you might assign one team member research on bowling rules or on names of big bowling tournaments. You might research historical settings for a role playing game. Be detailed in your response.
