Objectives (Game Balance):
Game balance component aims to introduce the theme of balancing digital games, studying different problems inherent to a digital game in terms of the different dimensions of balancing, how to identify them, and possible solutions and approaches that can be taken to solve them . At the end of UC, students should be able to identify balancing problems in a digital game, in its various dimensions, and propose different approaches to solve them.
Objectives (Monitoring):
Monitoring component aims to present flexible product development models such as Lean Startup and Agile, which allow a given artifact (in this case video games) to be tracked and improved over time. In a complementary way, frameworks and techniques will also be introduced regarding metrics so that they are applied in videogames’ real context.
