Blog - Announcing the Random Game Design Challenge

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

I mentioned in my previous entry that I had a new brand of weekly random game design challenge coming up soon.
Well, I unveil that today:

The Random Game Design Challenge is a collaboration project between me and another former game design student from SCAD.

This friend found he can come up with games very quickly based off of an absurd list of constraints. In one of my classes, I had built in Excel a random game generator, designed to generate, essentially, a list of wacky game constraints.
We decided to let our powers combine, and once a week I will spew forth another random game challenge from my generator that he will have to use to pitch a game back to me based on the randomly generated criteria. However, I might join in with pitches of my own sometimes, and we encourage others to do so as well. Yes, that means you. Go on, join in the fun.

So, please enjoy my new sister blog, the Random Game Design Challenge.
The first challenge is up already: design a space exploration RPG game that provides exercise.
