Prototyping as a game design tool

Today I held my first real lecture. It took place at the IT-University of Copenhagen and the topic was as stated above, more or less the 45 min. version of our master thesis.

I was a great honour for me to “return to the mother ship” and give some advice to the new students doing the game design course.

After the presentation I had the opportunity to walk around a look at their progress with their games. Some of them looked really good and had some great ideas behind them.
