IMPACT BY DESIGN
We are Game Architect, a dedicated team of designers that believe in the power of games to connect, engage, and inspire people in a way no other medium can. Our combined knowledge and experience come from designing games for entertainment, safety, health, and education.
Games, digital or physical, can provide simple solutions to complex problems in almost every imaginable work field. However, the design, development, and implementation can be a daunting and frustrating process. Luckily, we have plenty of experience on the matter! Let us be your guide through the ever-expanding maze of the game industry to ensure that you end up with a product that works, looks, and feels great.
What is an
APPLIED GAME?
Applied game design is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of related concepts. Their common denominator is that each of these solutions tackles a real-world problem by using game thinking and principles. Below are four common terms used to describe applied game products:
“GAMES AREN’T FUN BECAUSE THEY’RE GAMES, BUT BECAUSE THEY’RE WELL-DESIGNED”
-Sebastian Deterding
WHAT WE DO
PRIORITIZE
As applied game designers, we are used to dealing with different stakeholders, all with different needs and perspectives. We always keep in mind the player’s desire for a meaningful experience, the client’s need to solve a problem, and the need for a sustainable service that works for everyone.
MINIMIZE RISK
Game projects are always at risk of going over budget, being delayed, or delivering unusable products. Our goal is to help you navigate the jargon and common pitfalls of the creative industry. We can even help spark your organization’s interest in innovation through applied game design through workshops or lectures.
GUIDE YOUR PROCESS
With our experience and knowledge, we will guide you through all stages of development. Let us help you by defining your goals, manage the creation of your product, or finding the development studio that best suits your specific needs.
