Most of these theoretical tools are coming from or aimed to industry professionals. This literary review will allow us to perform a comparative [...]Keywords : game design, serious game, methodology, generic model

Design Games and Game Design: Relations Between Design, Codesign and Serious Games in Adult Education (Broacasting our studies)
Experience design implies an "experience to be lived" (Vial, 2015) where the subjects "interact with their natural and artificial environment". If we can easily imagine a "natural" or "artificial" environment, there is an in-between proposed by the game. Neither totally "natural" because it can rely on artifacts, nor totally "artificial" because some animals play and the game activity falls, depending o [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Design Game, Game design, Gamification, Ungamification, Serious Game design, Serious Play design
