And FYI, I came across your work on FPS as the topic of a History teaching module (Poland) for supporting video game design β€œHistorical Game Consulting: A Modular Syllabus,” Homo Ludens 17, no. 1 (2024): 189–233.

For analysis of HVGs, the player agent is the obvious starting point (e.g. how the player interacts with the game), but in historical game design the order would be different, I think. Player agent is a design choice that comes after a lot of other work figuring out the question being simulated...

Not at all - I use your HPS schematic (previous versions obviously) to get my students to think analytically about board and videogames and they find it reassuring to have a tangible structure to focus on. I was just wondering if how it changes for design work?

Did you find you needed to modify this schematic at all to help students with analog game design vs digital?

And Google Docs are similarly able to receive comments/suggestions, but always some students don't remember to make the doc viewable/commentable.

Collaborate & Annotate with Hypothesis | Online Annotation Tool Engage students with Hypothesis, the leading online annotation tool. Create a free account or explore education solutions today!

It helps if you get students to submit a "commendable" word file (so the peer can use the built-in reviewing tools). Annotation plugins (such as Hypothes.is) work if the project is web-based.

Peer Feedback | Historical Game Studies - 2024

I've done it at various levels and it works well. The key is that you assign at least three students to offer peer feedback for each piece of writing - to ensure that at least one person provides feedback. Here is one description for students of how to do it: marc-saurette.gitbook.io/historical-g...

Are you going to have anything about building up students’ game literacy? I feel like the foundation for game designers is the mental library of games played and mechanics in them. How do you get students to (quickly) build that knowledge?

This is a phenomenal example of what my friend Rosa Rodriguez Porto at the University of Santiago de Compostela has called Atlantic connections. The walrus ivory was likely from Greenland, & shipped via Norway & then possibly via Flanders or France to Spain.
