50 Games in 1 Semester

Gamasutra reports on the Experimental Gameplay Project at Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center in the article, “How to Prototype a Game in Under 7 Days: Tips and Tricks from 4 Grad Students Who Made Over 50 Games in 1 Semester.”

There were three rules:

1. Each game must be made in less than seven days,
2. Each game must be made by exactly one person,
3. Each game must be based around a common theme i.e. “gravity,” “vegetation,” “swarms,” etc.

If you’re interested in game design, you might want to go read the whole thing: “How to Prototype a Game in Under 7 Days: Tips and Tricks from 4 Grad Students Who Made Over 50 Games in 1 Semester.”
