Co-creation tool

 Designing a co-creation tool for narrative serious games.

 In this project the developer’s creation process is analyzed, the stakeholders, weaknesses and opportunities in that process are explored and the design of a game content co-creation tool that addresses these is described.

We identify clients’ lack of contextual awareness about game content as a key cause of problems during the developer’s process, and investigate what context clients would need.

The end result is a narrative game content revision tool, aimed at non-experts, which allows its users to view, revise and comment game content while playing. It does so while giving clients the insights and contextual awareness of a game developer, presenting game content in an easy to understand story-focused visual language.
